MANCHESTER — Drivers traveling along I-24 in Coffee County should be aware of upcoming road construction activities that will temporarily impact traffic.

Tuesday, August 5, 2025, and Wednesday, August 6, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time each day, Tennessee Department of Transportation maintenance crews will perform intermittent lane closures on I-24 West from mile marker 118 to mile marker 124 for pavement repairs.

Crews will flush queued traffic periodically throughout the closures to mitigate delays.

Drivers are encouraged to remain alert and avoid the area if at all possible. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in case of inclement weather or other unforeseen conditions.

As always, motorists are reminded to use TDOT’s motorist information tools and Know Before You Go! by checking travel conditions before departure. Drivers should never tweet, text, or talk on the phone while driving. For the latest updates, visit the TDOT SmartWay Map or dial 511 for statewide travel information.

Tennessee’s Move Over Law requires drivers to move over for highway workers and emergency vehicles. Violation of this law can result in up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.•
