Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland:

Currently, the TDOT contractor plans to close the Broad and Memorial intersection for two weekends between 8 PM on Friday and 6 AM Monday to set the girders for the middle section of the bridge.

These closures are tentatively set for the weekends of July 28th thru July 31st and August 4th thru August 7th pending weather conditions. TDOT will
distribute a traffic advisory the week of the closures once they have been confirmed.

The cost of the bridge is 17-point-six-million and is expected to be completed by December.
