NASHVILLE (AP) — A three-mile section of Interstate 24 will be closed this weekend near downtown Nashville to allow bridge work to be done.
I-24 eastbound and westbound will be closed from the I-24/I-65 split north of downtown to the I-24/I-40 split east of downtown beginning at 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. Detour signs will be posted, directing motorists to take the west loop around downtown. Overhead message signs will direct motorists around the closure.
All work will depend on favorable weather.
Workers will remove deteriorated concrete from bridge decks and set barrier rails. The project will take 13 weekends this spring and summer.
