TRAFFIC ADVISORY – I-65 over Trinity Lane Bridge Work This Weekend

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will work this weekend on repairs on the I-65 bridges that cross over Trinity Lane north of downtown Nashville. 

 

This weekend’s lane closures are as follows. 

 

• Friday, June 23, 8:00 pm - Monday, June 26, 5:00 am. – I-65 southbound will be reduced to two lanes at MM 87 for bridge joint repair. Two lanes will remain open at all times.

 

Drivers on I-24 eastbound and I-65 southbound north of Nashville are advised to expect delays and seek an alternate route.

 

There will be a necessary curing time for the new concrete to harden before the lanes are opened to traffic. During this time, there is a possibility that no workers will be present, but the lanes will still be closed. As soon as the concrete reaches the appropriate strength, the lanes will be opened to traffic.

Drivers are reminded to use all motorist information tools wisely and Know Before You Go! by checking travel conditions before leaving for your destination.  Drivers should never tweet, text or talk on a cell phone while behind the wheel. 

In 2016, the Tennessee Department of Transportation lost three workers in the line of duty. All three were struck by passing motorists. Those tragedies bring the total number of TDOT lives lost to 112. We don’t want to lose another member of our TDOT family. We’re asking you to WORK WITH US.
