I-40 Speed Limit Drops for Fair | Nashville News

Description

Tennessee’s I-40 through Lebanon is slowing down to 60 mph for just a week—August 13–22—to handle the insane crowds at the Wilson County Fair, which shattered records with over 860,000 attendees last year. TDOT’s got extra help on the road: more HELP Trucks and patrol vehicles to clear accidents fast, plus a new westbound ramp to ease merging. Police are pushing drivers to use alternate routes like Tennessee Blvd or Bluebird Rd, and they’ve added 1,000 new parking spots with better lighting and paving. Lock your car, hide valuables—or leave them home—and use your phone to mark your spot, especially if you’re parking in daylight and leaving at night. Gates close 30 minutes before ticket gates. For stress-free access, free shuttles run from Cumberland University’s stadium, the Wilson County Courthouse, and First Baptist Church—with clear signs and message boards to guide you.
