The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will assist in lane closures on State Route 266 (Sam Ridley Parkway/Jefferson Pike) in Rutherford County.
Beginning Thursday, June 5, officials will intermittently close the following portions of State Route 266 for the Great Tennessee Air Show in Smyrna:
- Sam Ridley Parkway (SR 266) in both directions
- Sam Ridley Parkway at Lowry Street (US 41/70 S)
- Detour to Lowry Street southbound to Nissan Drive (SR 102) northbound back to SR 266.
- Sam Ridley Parkway at G Street
- Detour from Sam Ridley Parkway and from Jefferson Pike to southbound Nissan Drive to northbound Lowry Street back to SR 266.
- G Street will be open.

- Detour using I-840 to I-24, or by using Lowry Street.
The closures will be in place beginning on Thursday, June 5, from 11:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.

All work is weather-dependent. As always, drivers are reminded to allow additional time, slow down, and move over when traveling through a work zone. The Move Over Law was passed in 2006. The penalty for violating the law in Tennessee carries the possibility of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of up to $500.
Motorists can alert TDOT to potholes by calling the TDOTFIX Hotline at 833-TDOTFIX or using this online form: TDOT Maintenance Request. The TDOT SmartWay Map (https://smartway.tn.gov) provides the latest construction activity traffic updates. Travelers can also call 511 for travel information.
