NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) announced on Monday that there will be no lane closure activity on interstates and state highways for the weekend. Lane closures will be paused starting at noon on Friday, August 30 until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, September 3.
“The Labor Day holiday is typically a busy travel time,” Deputy Governor and TDOT Commissioner Butch Eley said in the release. “We want to ensure that the thousands of travelers using Tennessee’s roadways during this period arrive at their destinations quickly and safely without being impeded by road construction delays. We also want to ensure the safety of our HELP Truck drivers who will be working. Please pay attention, move over, and slow down for all first responders. It’s the law!”
Drivers convicted of speeding in work zones where workers are present could face a fine between $250 and $500, not including potential court fees or increased insurance premiums.
