SLIDE CLOSES INTERSTATE 24 EASTBOUND IN DAVIDSON COUNTY
Sunday, February 24, 2019 | 12:44pm
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Department of Transportation crews have a long-term closure in place on Interstate 24 eastbound in northwest Davidson County, where a landslide at mile marker 42 occurred at approximately 10 p.m. on Saturday, February 23.
Traffic on I-24 eastbound is currently being diverted onto Old Hickory Boulevard at Exit 40 to I-65 or Briley Parkway.
The full scope of necessary slope repairs will not be known until material can be cleared from the slide site. A TDOT contractor is preparing to begin this process, but due to the unstable conditions around the area, the work will likely be slow going.
While TDOT cannot give a firm estimate for re-opening at this time, the department advises drivers to plan for the closure to be in place at least a week. Once a repair schedule is confirmed, TDOT will provide updated information.

Times like these I'm glad I stay out of the Carolinas during slow times!
