I-40 work completed

The Tennessean reported this morning that the Tennessee Department of Transportation has completed repair work on the Interstate 40 bridge that crosses over Jefferson Street between I-440 and downtown. No further closures are expected.

Traffic update

Beginning tonight at 7 p.m. and lasting through Monday morning at 5 a.m., Interstate 40 Westbound coming from downtown and extending to I-440 will be closed. Please keep this in mind if you are headed downtown this weekend. You won't be able to take I-40 back.

Please note that the segment highlighted in blue above is the affected stretch of interstate, but the map reads "eastbound." Only westbound travel (away from downtown) will be affected this weekend.
