TDOT pauses road work for 4th of July weekend

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WDEF) — The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is pausing road construction next week for the 4th of July holiday.

This will begin next Wednesday, July 3 at 6 a.m. and be in effect through Monday, July 8.

TDOT says this is to provide maximum roadway capacity for travelers.

AAA predicts record travel in Tennessee this year, with over a million Tennesseans taking trips.

Drivers will still see some long-term lane closures on certain projects.

Be extra cautious in these areas, and as always visit the TDOT Smartway cameras for the latest traffic updates.
