Per the Tennessee DOT:
The project is currently scheduled to be let in late March but anticipate the work would not begin until late April/early May at the earliest and be complete by early to mid-summer. These projects do typically take 6 to 8 weeks to complete but the major traffic impacts would be 3 to 4 weeks of that timeframe. The paving operations will close one lane in the area of work and will be a moving operation. The traffic will be controlled by flagging operations and the work should move quickly once started.
Typically the work schedule is flexible between the letting date and the contract completion date which has not been established at this time, but once the contractor has started work he is required to continue work until project is complete. Based on recent schedules , most of our contractors have typically been working Monday through Friday from 7 or 8 am to 5 or 6 pm unless there is a bad weather day during the week that may force the contractor to work on Saturday, but when no work is occurring on the project, all lanes will be open.
