Speed Limit to go Down on portion of Wattendorf Hwy

The Coffee County Commission has voted to lower the speed limit on a portion of Wattendorf Highway from 55 mph to 35 mph. The commission’s action followed a recommendation by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
The speed limit will be reduced for a 0.2 mile from north of the Volunteer Parkway intersection to just north of the I-24 interstate ramp. According to TDOT, the reduction of the speed limit is in the best interest of Coffee County residents. Not only will it protect locals but it will also protect drivers passing through the area crossing the highway near the interstate intersection.
