Repair Work Underway at Veterans Memorial Bridge on College Street

Repair work has begun on the College Street (Veterans Memorial) bridge over West Broad Street (U.S. 70) in Smithville.
TDOT let the bid to contract several weeks ago and Jamison Construction, LLC of McEwen was the successful bidder at $42,260.
According to TDOT officials, Jamison Construction plans to have temporary lane closures and pace traffic at various times depending upon the scope of the work both northbound and southbound on U.S. 70 from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. The estimated project completion date is November.
The repair work is needed apparently due primarily to collision damage caused by large trucks that have hit the bridge. The bridge underwent repairs for the same reason three years ago.
