In preparation for the upcoming Easter weekend, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has announced a temporary halt to all interstate construction work. This decision aims to accommodate the anticipated surge in holiday travel and ensure smooth journeys for motorists. Starting from Thursday, March 28 at 6:00 p.m. until Monday, April 1 at 6:00 a.m., TDOT crews and contractors will cease any road construction activities that involve lane closures.
By suspending these projects, TDOT seeks to maximize roadway capacity for travelers crossing the state during the holiday weekend. However, it’s important to note that some long-term lane closures related to ongoing construction projects will remain in place. While lane closure operations will be paused, there may still be workers present in construction zones, and reduced speed limits will continue to be enforced for the safety of all road users.
