No Delays For 4th Of July Travelers

Road construction won’t slow motorists across Tennessee over the July 4th holiday. The Tennessee Department of Transportation will suspend all construction-related lane closures on interstate and state routes from noon Thursday, July 2nd, through 6:00am Monday, July 6th, to provide maximum roadway capacity for holiday travelers.

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

Drivers convicted of speeding through work zones where workers are present face a fine of $250 to $500, plus court fees and possibly increased insurance premiums.
