More Pothole Repairs To Take Place In Putnam County

Another round of pothole repairs will begin on Interstate 40 in Putnam County Sunday.

Tennessee Department of Transportation maintenance crews will be patching potholes between mile markers 267 and 301. Eastbound and westbound lanes will be affected.

TDOT Spokesperson Jennifer Flynn said the work will be conducted at night.

“We just want people to pay attention and don’t text and drive,” Flynn said. “Just be patient when you see a work crew out working. Just move over when you see them on the side of the road and just be careful. We want them to be able to get back to their families as well.”

Intermittent lane closures will occur Monday through Thursday between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
