I-65 Rolling Roadblock and Ramp Closures for Overhead Sign Work

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct a rolling roadblock and ramp closures on Interstate 65 in Davidson County.

On Thursday, July 16,  from 8 p.m. – 5 a.m., crews will conduct a northbound rolling roadblock on I-65 from north of Exit 78 (Harding Place) to Exit 80 (I-65/I-440 split). This closure is necessary for the installation of an overhead sign. This work will also close the following on-ramps to I-65 northbound:

·         Powell Avenue ramp to I-65 northbound.

·         Westbound lane of Armory Drive from Armory Oaks Drive to I-65 northbound on-ramp.

·         Harding Place westbound and eastbound ramps to I-65 northbound.

Signage will be in place, alerting motorists to these closures.

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.
