HEAVY CONGESTION AT THE I-40 SPLIT NEAR KNOXVILLE
TDOT reported congestion at the busy I-40/I-75 split west of Knoxville in Loudon County. At 12:12 PM CT, I-40 westbound slowed at Exit 368 (I-75 South to Chattanooga), and at 12:08 PM CT, I-75 southbound backed up near mile marker 84.2.
No lanes were blocked in either case; the delays are caused by heavy volume at the interchange, worsened by post-Thanksgiving travel.
This notorious bottleneck handles over 200,000 vehicles daily, and drivers should consider alternates like US-321.
