Friday, August 07, 2026 | 11:04am

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct ramp closures on Interstate 840 and Interstate 40 in Wilson County.

On Monday, August 10, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., TDOT crews will close the following ramps due to paving operations:  

·         I-840 off-ramp to I-40 westbound (Exit 76B).

·         I-40 westbound on-ramp from S. Hartmann Drive (Exit 236).

Detour signage will be in place.

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.
