Considering taking 840 from I-65 to 48 joining with I-24 at Clarksville to bypass Nashville. Questions for those who drive it regularly. 1. Is there an exit off I-40 west to get on hwy 48. 2. How many miles from that junction to I-24. 3. Am I nuts and should just head through Nashville? I have driven through Nashville many times and it is not bad. Have motorhome with toad. With 840 completed to I-40 bypassing looked like an option. Thanks for any info.

Nashville is not as bad as it used to be since they have completed all the road construction if you stay away from the a.m./p.m. rush hours.

Thanks. I agree. We have always moved right through and even with the road construction not horrible. There is still construction on the I-24 I-65 interchange to Clarksville that might be a headache so I thought perhaps a bypass might be worth the try. Have you ever driven on hwy 48.

no, I just barrel on thru. I live in suburban Chicago. compared to Chicago rush hour Nashville is a breeze.

We have never had a problem going thru Nashville. We avoid lunchtime traffic and rush hours and have never had a problem. Drove straight thru with not much traffic on I-65.

We drove through last year, and made it successfully pulling a toad. I think the key is take it slow, be cautious, and stay alert. Nothing new right? Good luck!
