Chattanooga, TN June 27th – Officials are advising residents of multiple
road closures across the area due to severe weather conditions, including
heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential flooding. Public safety is our
top priority, and we urge all residents to exercise extreme caution and, if
possible, avoid unnecessary travel.
The following roads are currently closed due to various obstructions:

Residents are strongly advised to:
Stay off the roads if possible, especially in areas with downed wires.

Be mindful not to drive through flooded streets. Even shallow water can
conceal hazards or stall vehicles, and driving through flood waters can be
extremely dangerous. "Turn around, don't drown."
Exercise extreme caution if travel is unavoidable.
Crews will be working to clear the affected roadways and restore safe
conditions. We appreciate the public's patience and cooperation during this
time. Updates will be provided as conditions change and roads are reopened.
