NASHVILLE – Road Construction will not delay motorists traveling Tennessee's highways this Memorial Day weekend. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will suspend all construction-related lane closures on interstates and state routes from noon on Friday, May 22, through 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26. 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.

Nashville, Tenn. – Today, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) thanks the General Assembly for dedicating $400 million in the state’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget to support vital infrastructure improvements. The non-recurring dollars will support key investments in maintenance of existing assets and allow TDOT to accelerate, leverage, and add new capacity-adding projects to the department’s fiscally-constrained 10-Year Plan.
