TDOT has a bridge repair project under way on Highway 8 over the Collins River in Warren County. 

The bridge is located at the foot of Harrison Ferry Mountain.

According to TDOT, the bridge is currently reduced to one 11-foot lane to allow the contractor to begin repair work on the existing bridge. While the bridge is down to one lane, traffic will be maintained and controlled by a temporary signal for the safety of the traveling public.  

The estimated project completion date is Aug. 31, 2019. 

The contractor for the project is Jamison Construction LLC of McEwen, Tenn., and the contract amount is $1.3 million.

Motorists should expect periodic delays and use caution in the work zone.
