🚨 Major traffic alert for Nashville! A busy stretch of I-65 will shut down in BOTH directions starting Friday, October 16, and drivers should prepare for some serious detours! 🚗⚠️

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is closing Interstate 65 between the I-40 interchange at Exit 210 and the area near the I-440 interchange at Exit 80 to demolish the Hamilton Avenue bridge deck.

The closure begins at 8 p.m. Friday, October 16, as crews work to replace the bridge deck.

Here's what Nashville drivers need to know:

🚧 I-65 Closure: Both northbound and southbound directions will close at 8 p.m. on October 16 for demolition work.

🚧 Detour Routes: TDOT will direct interstate traffic around the closure using I-40, I-440, and I-24.

🚧 Hamilton Avenue Bridge: The bridge will remain closed to vehicles and pedestrians throughout construction, with repairs expected to finish by early December.

🚧 Local Alternatives: Drivers can use Chestnut Street or Wedgewood Avenue to cross I-65. Wedgewood Avenue at Exit 81 will also provide access to nearby streets.

🚧 Ongoing Construction: After the full closure, intermittent overnight lane closures are expected from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. as crews construct the new bridge deck.

TDOT warns that heavy traffic and delays are likely, especially around local detour routes.

Whether you're commuting to work, heading downtown for a night on Broadway, or visiting Music City for the weekend, this is one road closure worth planning around.

The Hamilton Avenue bridge project is expected to continue into early December, so Nashville drivers could be dealing with construction-related disruptions for several weeks.

A little extra travel time and an alternate route could make a big difference! 🚗
