Last week’s brutal winter storm has created an abundance of potholes along interstates and state highways in middle and west Tennessee. TDOT is launching a massive effort using all available manpower to repair the damaged areas as quickly as possible. Multiple crews will be patching potholes over the coming days and weeks with a temporary cold mix asphalt. But it may be spring or early summer before more permanent repairs are made. Motorists should be prepared for short term traffic delays during these repair operations. While every effort will be made to perform repairs during off-peak travel times (9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. weekdays), some lane closures may extend into the late afternoon, evening, and weekends. Drivers are asked to be patient and to watch out for TDOT crews on interstates and state highways. Please move over and slow down.
