The Tennessee Department of Transportation will conduct several rolling roadblocks tomorrow (Sunday, October 8, 2023) on Interstate 40 in Cumberland County.

The purpose is for road improvements.

Starting at 6 a.m., one will start at the 317-mile marker (Highway 127 exit) and another at the 329-mile marker (Crab Orchard exit).

Starting at 7 a.m., one will get underway at the 311-mile marker (Plateau Road exit) and another at the 322-mile marker (Peavine Road exit).

Officials say message boards, road work trucks, and law enforcement vehicles will be present along I-40 and ramps.

Motorists should reduce speed, be prepared to stop and expect delays.

A rolling roadblock is a means of slowing and controlling traffic to work on a section of roadway and allowing a work operation that requires short-duration access to the roadway.
