CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Beginning this afternoon (Monday), as part of the reconstruction of SR-317 (Apison Pike) from SR-321 (Ooltewah-Ringgold Road) to east of Layton Lane in Hamilton County, Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will shift part of Chestnut Creek Road to its new alignment to construct a portion of the new alignment for Apison Pike.

Drivers approaching Chestnut Creek Road from the existing Apison Pike will turn onto the new alignment of Apison Pike at the old Tallant Road intersection and continue on the new alignment of Apison Pike to Chestnut Creek Road. Drivers coming from Chestnut Creek Road will follow the newly paved portion of Chestnut Creek Road to the right and turn right onto the new alignment of Apison Pike.
