I-40 thru Knoxville

There has been bridge work being done on both east and west bound I-40 with significant delays. Its between the I-75 connections. I have been stuck in it and it is, or can be, a long wait.

    Isn't I640 a bypass good for through traffic?


    No, it is on the east end of the construction. At least this past weekend they had 2 lanes open. The previous work weekend they had it down to 1 lane in each direction and it was MISERABLE!

  • I-40 through Knoxville has been under construction with delays for at least 50 years so far.
