Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Highway Patrol is warning drivers of dangerous travel conditions along Interstate 40 this morning after falling ice and frozen trees caused partial lane blockages in several Middle Tennessee counties.
According to THP, eastbound and westbound lanes of I-40 in Cheatham, Williamson, Dickson, and Humphreys Counties are affected. Crews from TDOT are working alongside troopers to remove debris and reopen impacted sections as quickly as possible.
The agency reports that trees have fallen due to the heavy weight of accumulating ice, creating traffic delays and potential hazards for passing motorists. Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra braking distance, and remain alert for slick patches and debris.
Motorists can follow @my_TDOT and @TNHighwayPatrol for real-time updates on lane closures and travel conditions as cleanup continues.
This traffic alert follows a wave of icy weather that has already led to multiple crashes and road shutdowns across Middle Tennessee this week.
