I-24 Lane Closures to Impact Traffic over Weekend

June 13, 2025 By Contributed Article 0 Comments

The City of Chattanooga’s Public Works Department is issuing a traffic advisory regarding upcoming full closures of I-24 at the Germantown exit, announced by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. These essential roadwork projects will involve significant detours and impact local traffic flow, particularly immediately following the Juneteenth holiday.

Motorists are urged to plan alternate routes and allow for extra travel time during these closures, which are weather permitting.

I-24 Westbound Closure: June 20-23. The first closure will affect westbound I-24 just east of Germantown.TDOT is rerouting I-24 westbound traffic onto North Terrace and rejoining via South Germantown Road entrance ramp. South Germantown will be closed on either side of I-24. 

Detour Routes for East Ridge: To minimize the impact on local neighborhoods and preserve road integrity, TDOT has established the following detour routes, in coordination with the City of East Ridge:

Southbound Truck Detour: Moore Road ➝ Ringgold Road ➝ Germantown Road. Trucks will not be permitted to use the tunnels or South Terrace during the closures.

 Southbound Vehicle Detour: Belvoir Avenue ➝ Fountain Avenue ➝ Germantown Road. This full closure will necessitate installation of a new ramp east of Belvoir Avenue.

  • Closure Begins: Friday, June 20, at 9 p.m.

  • Reopening Expected: Monday, June 23, at 6 a.m.

I-24 Eastbound Closure: June 27-30

The second closure will impact the eastbound segment of I-24 at Germantown.

  • Closure Begins: Friday, June 27, at 9 p.m.

  • Reopening Expected: Monday, June 30, at 6 a.m.

While these are TDOT closures, they will directly affect City of Chattanooga streets. The Public Works Department advises all residents and commuters to stay informed about these closures and adjust their travel plans accordingly. Electronic message boards will be in place to guide motorists.
