Drivers traveling through downtown Nashville will face a closure of Interstate 65 in both directions while the Tennessee Department of Transportation demolishes a bridge.

The shutdown will affect a portion of the interstate, requiring through traffic to take another route during the work. Travelers whose trips use I-65 through downtown should check current road conditions before departing and allow flexibility in their travel plans.

TDOT’s SmartWay traffic service offers a way to monitor interstate conditions, including closures and congestion. Checking the route before leaving can help drivers account for disruptions affecting their trip through Nashville.
