State officials have halted most construction-related road closures during the holiday travel season. 

Most lanes will be opened from Thursday, December 23rd to Monday, January 3rd. However, state officials said lanes affected by some long-term projects will remain closed and workers may be present in them.  

โ€œWith motorists expected to travel Tennessee roadways during the Christmas and New Yearโ€™s holidays, keeping traffic moving and getting motorists to their destinations safely is our top priority,โ€ said Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Joe Galbato. โ€œAs always, please wear your seatbelt, reduce your speed, avoid distractions, and never drink and drive.โ€
