Lane Closures on Interstate 240 in Shelby County

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Motorists traveling through Shelby County will begin to see construction activity and lane closures on Interstate 240 as a widening project between State Route 385 and North of Walnut Grove gets underway.

 

Sunday, April 3 through Thursday, April 7 each night from 8:00 p.m.-6:00 a.m., construction crews will have one lane closed on I-240 East in order to begin milling operations.
