Schedule Updated for Ramp Closures on I-40 near BNA

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct the following ramp closures on Interstate 40 in Davidson County near Nashville International Airport® (BNA®).

·            Wednesday morning from 12 a.m. – 3 a.m.: I-40 eastbound exit 216A ramp (motorists will be detoured to 216B).

·            Wednesday night from 8 p.m. to Thursday at 4 a.m.:  I-40 eastbound exit 216B ramp (motorists will continue on I-40 and turn around at Stewarts Ferry).

·            Thursday night from 8 p.m. to Friday at 4 a.m.: On-ramp from Donelson Pike (SR 255) to I-40 eastbound (motorists will enter I-40 westbound and detour to Briley Parkway northbound to Elm Hill Pike).

·            Thursday and Friday mornings from 12 a.m. – 3 a.m.: I-40 eastbound exit 216B ramp (motorists will be detoured to 216A).

Detour signage will be in place. This timing has changed from a previous release, as the work by MasTec Civil is necessary to mill and pave the ramps as part of TDOT’s I-40 Interchange at Donelson Pike project. The ramp closures are in addition to lane closures on I-40 that will continue for the next two to three weeks. While these closures will occur during off-peak hours, motorists are strongly encouraged to leave early to arrive at their destination on time.

As always, drivers are reminded to slow down, allow for extra time for travel, 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 can be 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.
