I-40, I-440 in Nashville have weekend construction

USA TODAY NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Interstate highway travel through Nashville this weekend will have a couple of kinks. State transportation officials say a contractor will swing large steel beams into place at a flyover ramp project at Interstate 40 and White Bridge Road on the city's west side. Interstate traffic won't be stopped, but travel on White Bridge over I-40 will have lane closures and some traffic stoppage. The other work is a continuation of concrete repair on I-440, only a couple of miles from the ramp project. All eastbound lanes of I-440 will be closed from I-40 to I-65 beginning Friday at 8 p.m. and ending by 6 a.m. Monday. The best detour for eastbound traffic is to continue downtown and pick up I-65 off the downtown "loop" and then connect to I-40 again.
