Get off I-24 on to Briley Parkway, also marked as SR-155. Go west/south and stay on Briley until you get off onto I-40 west of town. Exit onto I-40 and go EAST just a couple of miles and pick up 440. There is a big ramp from Briley Parkway onto I-40, and it dumps you on I-40 close to 440.
MUCH easier and safer than going through downtown, although a few more miles. Briley Parkway is the best-kept secret around.
As always, check Google Maps, Waze, and/or TDOT smartway site for traffic conditions before you commit to a route.
I was looking at this route and wondering if, the little bit of extra time and mileage, was worth it at noon time.
