Temporary Closure of BNA Ramps Scheduled

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

From 8 p.m. until 4 a.m. on Thursday, September 4, and Sunday, September 7, the Terminal Drive ramp from BNA to I-40 westbound will be closed for milling and paving. Detour signage will be in place. While these closures will occur during off-peak hours, motorists are strongly encouraged to leave early to arrive at their destination on time.

In addition to the ramp closures, nightly lane closures continue on I-40 in both directions for final paving work. After paving on I-40 is complete, crews will begin paving Donelson Pike, resulting in daily lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. These closures are necessary for TDOT’s I-40 Interchange at Donelson Pike project.

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.
