Bridge Repair to Close I-24 Ramp

Wednesday, July 23, 2025 | 12:29pm

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct a ramp closure on Interstate 24 in Davidson County.

Beginning Wednesday, July 23, at 8 p.m. until 9:30 p.m., crews with Jorgenson will close the I-24 eastbound ramp from I-40 westbound (Exit 53/Chattanooga) to remove concrete. A detour will be in place, and the I-440 westbound ramp from I-40 westbound (Exit 53/Memphis) will remain open.

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.

Motorists can alert TDOT to potholes by calling the TDOTFIX Hotline at 833-TDOTFIX or using this online form: TDOT Maintenance Request. The TDOT SmartWay Map (https://smartway.tn.gov) provides the latest construction activity traffic updates. Travelers can also call 511 for travel information.
