I-65 over Trinity Lane Bridge Repair Project Continues this Weekend in Davidson County

NASHVILLE – Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will continue work this weekend on a project to repair the I-65 bridges that cross over Trinity Lane north of downtown Nashville.  

This weekend’s lane closures are as follows.  

• Friday, August 26, 8:00 p.m. – Sunday, August 28, 12 p.m. - I-65 will be reduced to two lanes in each direction at times during bridge work at Trinity Lane (MM 87).

Motorists should expect lengthy delays on I-65, I-24, and I-40 around downtown Nashville. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and use alternate routes, such as Ellington Parkway, Dickerson Pike, and Briley Parkway. Dynamic Message Signs will have alternate route information displayed in the affected areas.

Crews will be applying deck sealant, which requires curing time before the lanes are opened to traffic. During this time, there is a possibility that no workers will be present, but the lanes will still be closed. As soon as the sealant is ready, the lanes will be opened to traffic.

The repairs are part of a $4.3 million resurfacing project from the I-65 Trinity Lane bridge to the Cumberland River bridge and Spring Street bridge on I-65/I-24 in the downtown loop. The weekend closures are necessary for the bridge work due to the amount of concrete that must be removed and replaced.
