The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has released its weekly list of lane closures and construction updates for Region 4, covering West Tennessee.
Several projects will affect travel in Carroll County and neighboring counties. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and use caution in work zones.
Carroll County
Multiple resurfacing and road realignment projects are underway this week:

Construction between SR 77 and Cutlip Lane continues with grading, drainage, noise wall installation, signals, and paving. Several local road closures are in place: Meadowbrook Lane remains closed. Cutlip Lane traffic has been shifted onto a new alignment leading to Trezevant, with a reduced speed limit of 35 MPH and an all-way stop at Old US 79 (SR 76).
