TDOT: 46 of 49 bridges and roads damaged in Helene have reopened
SUMMARY: Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has reopened 46 out of 49 bridges and roads damaged by Hurricane Helene, restoring nearly 94% of affected routes within eight months. The closures caused significant daily disruptions, forcing lengthy detours for commuters. TDOT credits its success to a new progressive design-build approach, enabling public-private partnerships and overlapping design and construction phases. This innovative method expedited repairs, preventing months or years of closure and reducing costs. It’s the first time TDOT has employed this streamlined process, allowing quicker project completion. Further updates on remaining work will be shared in the coming news segment.
