I - 75 closure

Hi folks... Anyone have any news about the I 75 N closure?
Route detours or alternate routes?
I'm thinking of I 24 to Nashville and I 65 to Louisville and Cinci, to
I 75 to Detroit. Trying to avoid boonies and extreme mountains.Any thoughts?

  • According to tenn dept of transportation, 2 south bound lanes to open on the 17th of march. 1 north bound to open on the 24th.
  • There was another thread posted last week on the I-75 closure. We traveled through that area last Saturday. The suggestion from the other Forum post was to take 35 East South out of Corbin Kentucky. We went that route and it was a wonderful Drive. 35 South going are 35 East going south is 4-lane very smooth but does have heavy truck traffic the trucks are being detoured on 35 East cars are being routed further south through a secondary Road. If you take 35 East out of Corbin Kentucky to I-81 you'll have no problems at all other than heavy truck traffic. On our return from South Carolina this Saturday we will be taking the same route going home.
  • I would just stay on I-65 to Indianapolis and then I-69 to Port Huron/Sarnia.
  • Thanks all for your info. I think I'll go north through Kentucky to Cinci and home on I-75 and use my book map "Along the I - 75.
