Potential I-24 Chattanooga Delay Route for Bridge Repairs - Oct. 23 to Oct. 26 

TDOT is planning to do a series of bridge repairs along the I-24 corridor through Chattanooga, specifically northbound from GA I-75 to I-24 to Nashville at or near Chattanooga.  There will be a delay route for trucks and vehicles will be over 5 miles out of route. The plan is to shut down on Friday, Oct. 23 at 2100 until Monday, Oct. 26 at 0600.

These plans are not final and are weather dependent.  We wanted to alert our stakeholders in enough time to plan accordingly. However, please stress these are preliminary and subject to change.

We kicked off the Raffle Event at our Annual Convention and so far have sold 192 tickets. This year has been a real challenge for the Foundation to have revenue generated activities. Raffle Ticket sales are our last chance to generate revenue for this unprecedented year. That means we have 808 tickets to sell before drawing week. Our goal is to sell 20 tickets per business day. Here is the link where you can purchase your tickets and also see a daily update on how many tickets have been sold. Remember, the Road Team Captains are having a contest for ticket sales. For every 10 tickets they sell, they get a free ticket. You may purchase on line or you can call the TTA office at (615) 777-2882, or email Catherine Stuart at cstuart@tntrucking.org. If you purchase online and want to support a favorite Captain, you can put the Captain's name in the "Note" section on the online form. If you call the office to purchase, just make sure you give the Captains name when you make your purchase.

We can also take your name for your future purchase. You won’t be invoiced until the month you want to be called for purchase up to November 1st. We will be contacting those of you who have purchased in the past to give you the opportunity to purchase your tickets. You will receive the tickets once they have been invoiced and payment is received. Our goal is to sell out the tickets early so we don’t go to the last minute wondering if all tickets will sell. Raffle proceeds benefit the Tennessee Trucking Foundation's Highway Safety Education Programs. This program has really grown over the past few years. Our 25 Road Team Captains now have safety presentations for ages from kindergarten up to our aging population. We know that once our Nation recovers from the pandemic, they will be back in the schools, senior citizen centers, and public events across the state. Please help with this fundraiser so they can continue to save lives in Tennessee.
