The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District has announced a road closure at Dale Hollow Dam due to scheduled operational maintenance on the dam.

Dale Hollow Dam Road, which stretches across the dam, is closed to all traffic Dec. 1-31, 2014. Pedestrians and bicycle traffic are also not allowed across the dam. The closure provides for the safety of employees performing maintenance work on all the head gate hoist equipment.

The road will have a barricade at the intersection of Walker Ridge Road and Will Terry Road near the south end of the dam. A barricade will be set up at the Dale Hollow Dam Road/cut through road intersection at the north end of the dam.

Concerns or questions about the road closure can be addressed to the Dale Hollow Resource Manager’s Office at (931) 243-3136.
