![]() Beginning May 1, 2008, a short section of Interstate 40 between James White Parkway (exit 388A) and Hall of Fame Drive (exit 389) will be closed to traffic for reconstruction. (See Red lines on map) I-40 through traffic will be rerouted onto I-640 until June 2009. (See Green line on map) Northbound I-75 motorists traveling into Knoxville from Chattanooga are encouraged to continue on I-40 toward downtown and use I-275 northbound. I-275 has been improved to three lanes in each direction. By using I-275, northbound I-75 motorists will avoid potential long delays on I-640. (See Orange line on map) |
![]() Local traffic may continue to use James White Parkway (exit 388A) and Hall of Fame Drive (exit 389) to access the downtown area and the University of Tennessee. Traffic that normally passes through downtown on I-40 should use I-640 or I-275 to bypass the closure. (See Purple lines on map) For more information |
