The Tennessee Department of Transportation will conduct quarterly testing on the Market Street Bridge on Sunday during which time the bridge will be closed to through traffic. From 8 a.m. to no later than 2 p.m. the bridge will be closed to traffic as the testing is performed.
This work is weather dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances delay the inspection, it will be rescheduled to take place at a later date. Drivers are advised to use the Olgiati Bridge or the Veterans Bridge as alternate routes while the Market Street Bridge is closed.
