SPECIAL NOTE for I-24 EASTBOUND in Tennessee
TNDOT reports I-24 Eastbound is blocked by a major landslide at the 42mm just north of Nashville with a substantial delay where traffic is detoured to Old Hickory Blvd at Exit 40- An alternate route via US 41-Alternate or US 431 is suggested

SPECIAL NOTE TO COMMUTERS

With the forecast indicating the river will rise another 2 ft. or more between now and about Thursday, floodwaters will close highways at additional locations across the region.

Commuters who are facing extended detours along what may be unfamiliar roadways to get to and from work should consider temporarily staying with friends or relatives closer to their worksite. For instance, if you live in Wickliffe, KY, and work in Cairo, IL, or Sikeston, MO, or live in Illinois or Missouri and would normally commute to work in Kentucky, finding a place to stay nearer your work will help you avoid what could be a 90 mile detour via the I-24 Ohio River Bridge at Paducah.

Finding a place to stay closer to your work will save commute time and gas.

Livingston County Emergency Management has calculated that US 60 will likely be forced to close near the 16 mile marker in Livingston County between Burna and Smithland sometime Monday afternoon, creating another extended detour there.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet engineers will be working with emergency management to provide timely notice of floodwater closures that impact travel.
