    Road Construction will not delay motorists traveling Tennessee's highways this Memorial Day weekend. 

    The Tennessee Department of Transportation will suspend all construction-related lane closures on interstates and state routes from noon Friday, May 22nd, through 6:00am Tuesday, May 26th. 

    This will provide maximum roadway capacity for the record-breaking number of motorists expected to take a road trip in the state during the holiday weekend.

    AAA predicts 950,000 Tennesseans will travel for Memorial Day, with the majority of travelers, 795,000, driving to their destination.
