The Tennessee Department of Transportation announced yesterday that it will halt all lane closure activity on interstates and state highways in anticipation of higher traffic volumes across the state. 

 

All construction-related lane closures will be stopped beginning at noon on Wednesday, November 22, through 6:30 a.m. on Monday, November 27.

 

While all lane closure activity will be stopped, workers may be on-site in some construction zones. Long-term lane closures will also remain in place on some construction projects for motorists’ safety. Motorists are reminded to drive safely and obey the posted speeds, especially in work zones.

 

AAA predicts in Tennessee, 1.2 million will take a road trip; an increase of 28,000 people from last year’s Thanksgiving holiday.
