Construction is set to commence on Brotherton Road in the Chickamauga Battlefield starting Monday, May 5. The road will be closed between Alexander Bridge and LaFayette Roads. The project is expected to span over a period of four years, with a projected completion date of October 30, 2025.
During this period, all public traffic will be prohibited from using the closed sections of Brotherton Road. This includes motorists, equestrians, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The ban is in place to ensure the safety of the public and the workers during the construction period.
The National Park Service has not provided details about the nature of the construction or why it necessitates such a long closure. Visitors to the Chickamauga Battlefield are advised to seek alternative routes and stay updated by visiting the park’s official website.
