The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will begin a new detour for the nighttime closures of US-31W (State Route 41) and Interstate 65 in Sumner County.
Starting Wednesday, December 3, crews with Jones Bros. will detour northbound and southbound Interstate 65 and close US-31W in both directions to set steel beams for the new I-65 bridge over US-31W. The closures will take place from 8 p.m. – 5 a.m. for approximately 4 nights, with an expected completion date of December 8. No work will be performed on Friday, December 5, and Saturday, December 6.
A detour will be in place to divert motorists off the interstate at the US-31W Exit 98 ramp and back on using the I-65 entrance ramp.
This work is part of TDOT’s I-65 Phase 3 Widening & Improvements project, which began construction in March 2025. In addition to adding a travel lane in each direction, this work includes the replacement of bridges over US-31W, Long Hollow Pike, East Cedar Street, and Mansker Creek, as well as other improvements.
