Route 24 going through Nashville?
I am leaving Chicago suburbs going to Florida. Looking for a good route. Is there any steep inclines going 24 through Nashville? Big hills make me nervous!!! We are going Fort de soto. Any suggestions...

Mounteagle is about 100 miles south of Nashville, just north of Chattanooga. It's not bad. Take it slow and stay in the right lane. After getting to the top of Mounteagle it drops off so take it slow and don't ride your brakes. There are a few curves on the east side of Mounteagle. Nothing really to worry about as long as you don't try running 70 mph and riding your brakes the entire distance.
Another route option where you'll miss Mounteagle would be to take I-65 south from Nashville to Montgomery and AL 231 thru Dothan to Tallahassee. Chattanooga can be a bit of a pain at times and then there's Atlanta. Atlanta can go smoothly or it can be a major pain but there is always a lot of traffic. I-65 to Montgomery will avoid Monteagle, Chattanooga, and Atlanta. From Tallahassee you can take I-10 to I-75 and south or take Alt 27/19 along the west side.
Construction caution in Nashville on I-24 on the west side. The last couple of weeks I-24 went to 1 lane which caused traffic to back up, how far depended on the time of day, but always a backup. I don't know how long they're going to be working in that location.
