The Broadway bridge, which has been closed to traffic for two months, is expected to reopen before the end of the week.
Driving the news: Several blocks of Broadway were closed while the Tennessee Department of Transportation replaced the bridge over 11th Avenue.
- The original bridge, built in 1948, was "showing signs of deterioration," per TDOT.
What they're saying: TDOT spokesperson Rebekah Hammonds tells Axios the bridge could open Thursday, but the exact timing is tentative.
What's next: Work on sidewalks, lighting and other elements will continue after the bridge is reopened to traffic. The full project is expected to wrap by Oct. 31.
