I-65 to be shut in Middle Tennessee next weekend
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A portion of Interstate 65 in Middle Tennessee will be closed in both directions next weekend to remove a bridge that was damaged when a truck carrying gasoline hit a vertical support.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation says it will close the interstate from Friday, Sept. 19, at 8 p.m. until Monday, Sept. 22, at 5 a.m. From Tuesday, Sept. 16, to Thursday, Sept. 18, the Transportation Department will close a single lane in each direction between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night.
The closures will take place at mile marker 61 in Franklin. Motorists will be able to use the ramps at state Route 248 to bypass the closures. However, the Transportation Department is advising travelers to use alternate routes, such as Interstate 24 or state Route 840.
