HEAVY CONGESTION ON I-40 NEAR KINGSTON

On May 29, 2025, at 2:47 PM CDT, congestion was reported on Interstate 40 Eastbound in Roane County, Tennessee, at mile marker 349.8, with no lanes blocked. The slowdown is likely due to construction taking place on I-40 about six miles further East near mile marker 356.

In addition, earlier today, there was a multi-vehicle crash, which likely exacerbated the issue.

This project, which began on May 28, 2025, involves nightly lane closures from 7 PM to 6 AM through July 31, 2025, affecting the right lane and shoulder in both eastbound and westbound directions between mile markers 356 and 363.

Travelers are advised to check Tennesseeโ€™s SmartWay system for real-time updates or consider alternate routes like US 27 or SR 29 to avoid potential delays.
