Early September, 2015. Coming in from I-55 headed south. Leaving out on I-40 going east. Probably morning or midday. Have been through Memphis many times, but wondering about construction and traffic?
Would it be worth an extra 30 minutes to avoid Memphis altogether??
For example to cross over toward Dyersburg, TN and then southeast
Towing 34' fifth-wheel.
I would take the Dyersburg route regardless of any scheduled construction in Memphis. Much less chance of delays that way.
You can check

close to your travel time and look for any specific problems on your route anywhere in the state.
