Waterway under Wilbur Dam Road bridge restricted for construction

Waterbourne navigation under the Wilbur Dam Road bridge on the Wilbur Reservoir will be restricted beginning next week and will last through the completion of the bridge replacement project. The TVA is installing a turbidity curtain across the reservoir near the bridge in preparation. A new bridge will be built next to the old one and is slated for completion in 2027. The old bridge will then be closed and demolished. Traffic across the existing bridge has been restricted to one lane with temporary traffic signals placed at both ends of the bridge.
