Local Road Closure for East Cedar Bridge Demolition

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct a continuous closure of East Cedar Street in Davidson and Sumner Counties.

Starting Saturday, June 13, at 6 a.m. through Sunday, June 14, at 6 p.m., crews with Jones Bros. will close East Cedar Street in both directions for the demolition of East Cedar Street Bridge over Interstate 65.

A detour and signage will be in place.

This work is part of TDOT’s I-65 Phase 3 Widening & Improvements project, which began construction in March 2025. In addition to adding a travel lane in each direction, this work includes the replacement of bridges over US-31W, Long Hollow Pike, East Cedar Street, and Mansker Creek, as well as other improvements.

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 includes the possibility of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of $500.

Motorists can report potholes to TDOT 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 traffic updates on construction activity. Travelers can also call 511 for travel information.
