The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) reports that they will halt all lane closure activity on interstates and state routes for the Labor Day holiday travel period. Construction crews will stop all lane closure activity at noon on Friday, August 29, until 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 2. This will provide maximum roadway capacity for motorists traveling during the Labor Day holiday.

“The Labor Day holiday is always a busy travel time,” said TDOT Commissioner Will Reid. “We want to ensure that the thousands of travelers using Tennessee’s roadways during this period arrive at their destinations quickly and safely without being impeded by road construction delays. We also want to ensure the safety of our HELP Truck drivers who will be working. Please pay attention, move over, and slow down for all first responders. It’s the law!”

While lane closure activity will be stopped, workers will still be on-site in many construction zones, and drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits. Drivers convicted of speeding in work zones where workers are present face a fine of $250 to $500, plus court fees and possibly increased insurance premiums.
