Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) maintenance crews will perform pipe repairs along I-24 East in Grundy County, resulting in temporary traffic impacts over two scheduled workdays.

On Thursday, the shoulder between mile markers 120 and 129 was closed. On Tuesday, September 9, 2025, rolling roadblocks and a shoulder closure will occur in the same area from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (local time).

These repairs will be conducted in the median of I-24 East, and I-24 Westbound traffic will not be affected.

Drivers should use caution when traveling through the area during these times and expect delays. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in case of inclement weather or other unforeseen conditions.

As always, motorists are reminded to use TDOT’s motorist information tools and Know Before You Go! by checking travel conditions before departure. Drivers should never tweet, text, or talk on the phone while driving. For the latest updates, visit the TDOT SmartWay Map or dial 511 for statewide travel information.

Tennessee’s Move Over Law requires drivers to move over for highway workers and emergency vehicles. Violation of this law can result in up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
