Tennessee and Virginia suspend interstate lane closures during Labor Day weekend

As the Labor Day weekend approaches, both the Tennessee and Virginia Departments of Transportation are putting highway lane closures on hold. Both departments say suspending lane closures due to construction on interstates and major highways will help get drivers to their weekend destination safely and efficiently.

Officials say lane closures will be suspended in Tennessee from noon on Friday until 6 AM on Tuesday, September 6th; and from noon on Friday to noon on Tuesday in Virginia. Some long-term or semi-permanent closures may still be in effect in some areas.
