Traffic will be detoured to I-40 and I-65. Local traffic in East Nashville will be able to access local routes to cross the Cumberland River, including Shelby Avenue, Main Street, Woodland Street, and Spring Street.
The I-24 closure is being undertaken to complete part of a $1.5 million bridge repair project that includes joint replacement and repairs at the bridges over Main Street and Woodland Street, as well as the Silliman Evans bridge.
TDOT is prepping for a second weekend closure that has yet to be scheduled, but the agency estimates early Fall for a timeframe.
