Resurfacing Work Prompts Weekend Lane Closure

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct a lane closure on Interstate 40 in Hickman County.

Beginning Friday, August 1, at 8 p.m. through Monday, August 4, at 5 a.m., crews with Jones Bros will close one of two eastbound lanes on I-40 over Garners Creek Road (near the Dickson County line) for bridge deck repair. This work is part of an ongoing resurfacing project on I-40 from the Humphreys/Hickman County line to Exit 163, included in TDOT’s 3-Year Pavement Program.

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.
