TDOT wants to speak with property owners along certain damaged routes as part of the rebuilding process. We may need permission to be on your property as crews repair or rebuild roads.

Property owners impacted can contact us by emailing [email protected] or by calling 833-TDOTFIX (836-8349) and following the voice prompts.
