The Tennessee Department of Transportation is suspending all construction-related lane closures on interstates and state routes for four days.

The suspension will last from 6 a.m. on Friday, July 1 to 6 a.m. on Tuesday, July 5, providing maximum roadway capacity for holiday travelers.

Motorists could still encounter some lane closures on long-term construction projects, and though lane closure activity may be stopped, workers may still be on-site in some zones. Reduced speed limits in work zones will still be in effect.
