Summary

TDOT announces scheduled lane closures across 21 West Tennessee counties for the week of April 22-29, 2026. Multiple projects include resurfacing on SR-1 (US-70) in Carroll County, bridge replacements on SR-100 in Chester County, concrete ramp repairs at the TN-22 and US-51 interchange in Obion County, and I-40 decorative lighting work in Shelby County. Drivers should expect delays and use posted detours where roads are closed.

Why this matters

Trucking companies and logistics operators with routes through West Tennessee should monitor TDOT lane closure schedules for the week of April 22-29, 2026. The I-40 closures in Shelby County (decorative lighting, bridge approach repairs) and the TN-22/US-51 interchange ramp closures in Obion County represent the highest-impact delays for interstate freight movement. Construction firms and utility companies working near active work zones should verify that their personnel understand the posted detours and lane shift configurations, particularly the new alignment on Cutlip Lane in Carroll County with the 35 MPH reduced speed limit.
