NES Work to Close I-24 Overnight
Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has approved a full closure on Interstate 24 in Davidson County for Nashville Electric Services to conduct work.
Beginning Wednesday, July 16, from 11 p.m. until 1 a.m. Thursday, July 17, I-24 in both directions will be closed from Briley Parkway (State Route 155) to the I-65 junction. Ramps to enter I-24 will also be closed during this time, and detour signage will be in place. This closure is necessary for NES to replace poles and anchors along Ewing Drive where it crosses I-24.
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.
