NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) contract crews will close lanes on I-65 South in Williamson County this weekend in order to perform repairs to the State Route 840 bridge that crosses over the interstate.
Saturday, February 22, 2014 beginning at midnight through Sunday, February 23rd, 2014 at 8:00 p.m., two lanes of I-65 southbound at State Route 840 (mile marker 59) will be closed. One lane will remain open.
