TDOT Suspends All Lane Closures For Labor Day Travel

The Tennessee Department of Transportation will halt all lane closure activity on interstates and state highways for the Labor Day holiday travel period.

Construction crews will stop all lane closure activity at noon Friday, August 30th, until 6:00am Tuesday, September 3rd. This will provide maximum roadway capacity for motorists traveling during the Labor Day holiday.

While lane closure activity will be stopped, workers will still be on-site in many construction zones, and drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits.  Drivers convicted of speeding in work zones where workers are present face a fine of $250 to $500, plus court fees and possibly increased insurance premiums.
