Nashville drivers should be aware of another weekend closure. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will fully close the downtown east loop on I-24, from the I-65 split to the I-40 merge, starting at 8 p.m. today and lasting until 5 a.m. next Monday. A similar closure is scheduled for the weekend of November 22, beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday and ending Monday morning.
For drivers in Nashville, the west loop will be the designated detour route, as indicated by
TDOT
. This will be the final full closure of the downtown east loop for the year, but travelers are advised to plan for potential delays, as the area is typically congested, even during normal conditions.
The closures are necessary for road resurfacing and repairs to bridge expansion joints, being performed by Jones Bros. Construction. However, the timeline is dependent on weather conditions. Drivers are reminded to follow the Move Over Law when traveling through work zones, as violations can result in a fine of up to $500 and up to 30 days in jail.
To avoid traffic delays, drivers can use TDOT’s SmartWay map for real-time updates on construction activities and traffic conditions. Alternatively, calling 511 can provide information on current traffic and help navigate through Nashville.
