NASHVILLE (AP) — The heavily traveled Interstate 65 just north of downtown Nashville is going to be widened.

The Federal Highway Administration awarded $3.7 million for the project, which covers the section between Trinity Lane and Dickerson Road just north of the Cumberland River.

The interstate goes north into Kentucky and south into Alabama. Part of the section to be widened also is I-24, which veers off northwest toward Clarksville and western Kentucky.
