TDOT: Temporary road closures to begin on SR 93 next week

The Tennessee Department of Transportation says motorists in Sullivan County should prepare for temporary road closures next week as State Route 93 will be closed in both directions between Murrell Lane and Lone Star Road beginning Monday. The closures will be daily at noon and are expected to last until Friday, April 25. Crews will be conducting blasting operations, and while the closures are anticipated to last around 20 minutes, they could be longer if debris needs to be cleared from the roadway. Officials have advised drivers to expect delays and to use extreme caution in the work areas.
