The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Monday that Bell Road across the J. Percy Priest Dam will reopen in time for the morning commute on Thursday.

This section of Bell Road has been closed to traffic since Aug. 1 for scheduled maintenance on the dam.

The Stones River Greenway Trailhead, the J. Percy Priest visitor information center and the Overlook remained open to the public. The Right Bank Tailwater area will remain closed as repair work to the river bank below the dam continues.

Concerns or questions can be addressed to the J. Percy Priest Resource Manager’s Office at 615-889-1975.
