Officials still are unsure when repairs to the Interstate 40 bridge will be complete, and it will not be reopened to even partial traffic until finished.
Tennessee Department of Transportation Community Relations Officer Nicole Lawrence told Talk Business & Politics there have been no significant issues in repairing the fractured beam that closed the bridge in early May. Work will continue through the end of July at a minimum, she said.
Even after the repair work is complete and the bridge is re-opened there could be partial lane closures to accommodate any work relating to the bridge that needs to be done, she added.
