For the third weekend in a row, Interstate 240 and Poplar are scheduled to be closed down for construction from 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, to 6 a.m. Monday, Oct. 29.

I-240 will be closed from the I-40/240 flyover to Bill Morris Parkway (Tennessee 385) while work continues on replacement of railroad and Poplar Avenue bridges over I-240 in East Memphis. Both east- and westbound Poplar will be closed at I-240.

The closings are part of the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s MemFix 4 project to replace the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge and east- and westbound Poplar bridges and to repair the Park Avenue bridge over I-240.

TDOT said another weekend closing could be on tap Nov. 2-5 if certain tasks aren’t completed this weekend.

Elsewhere in Greater Memphis, highway construction and maintenance activities, weather permitting, will cause intermittent lane closures:
