TDOT Announces Lane Closures on Walton Ferry Road in Sumner County

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has scheduled lane closures on Walton Ferry Road in Sumner County.

From Monday, September 22, through Friday, September 26, crews will close Walton Ferry Road between Cages Road and Campus Drive daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

A detour will redirect non-through traffic onto Sanders Ferry Road and Imperial Boulevard.

This closure is necessary for utility work on Walton Ferry Road.

The work is part of TDOT's Walton Ferry Road/Old Shackle Island Road widening and improvements project, which spans from Nokes Drive to Volunteer Drive.

The project also includes widening the intersection at State Route 6 (US 31/Main Street) and Walton Ferry Road/Old Shackle Island Road.

All work is weather-dependent.

Drivers are reminded to allow additional time, slow down, and move over when traveling through a work zone.

The Move Over Law, passed in 2006, carries penalties of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of $500 for violations.
