The Tennessee Department of Transportation has started the road construction project on interstate 640 East and West bound.

Motorists need to be aware that I-640 East and West will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes and traffic shifted between Mile Marker 6 (Broadway exit) and I-40. This is the start of rubblization activities in the area, and lane closures will be in place 24/7. This is method which saves time and money by reducing existing concrete into rubble at its current location rather than hauling it to another location which creates a base for new roadways.

Motorists should expect delays and are advised to use extreme caution in this area as workers will be present.
