🚗 Interstate Road Closure in Downtown Nashville
The ramp from Interstate 40 westbound to Interstate 65 southbound will be reduced to a single lane from now until Nov. 15 so crews can repair the bridge on the I-40 west merge ramp over the I-65 north merge ramp. TDOT reminds drivers to move over when traveling through a work zone, and to give yourself extra time during the morning commute. [The Tennessean]
