Weekend Concrete Repairs to Close I-24 to I-840 Ramp
Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct a ramp closure on Interstate 24 in Rutherford County.
Beginning Thursday, May 15, at 8 p.m. through Friday, May 16, at 5 a.m., Capital City Construction Services, LLC crews will close the I-24 westbound ramp (Exit 74A) to I-840 westbound for concrete repairs.
The ramp will close again beginning Friday, May 16, at 8 p.m. until Monday, May 19, at 5 a.m.
No lanes on I-24 or I-840 will be closed or affected by the work. A detour will be in place for I-24 westbound motorists to use Exit 70 (SR 102) to get back on I-24 eastbound to take Exit 74A to I-840 westbound.
All work is weather-dependent. As always, drivers are reminded to allow additional time, slow down, and move over when traveling through a work zone. The Move Over Law was passed in 2006. The penalty for violating the law in Tennessee carries the possibility of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of up to $500.
