    I'm going to be coming down I-24 to Nashville, then east on I-40. Usually I take the Briley around Nashville, but with I-24 closed just north of there I need an alternate route. I'm thinking of Tennesse HYW 45 through Lakewood... Everything I can find (Truck atlas, GPS, Google Maps, etc.) says its a legal truck route. But I would like some other opinions, local knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

    Edit: BTW... I will be coming through there in the middle of the night so traffic isnt a concern... I dont think.

    Can't get to 155... I-24 is closed before there due to a massive mudslide. Thats the way I usually go... It's not an option at the moment.

    Oh ok....let's see can you get off at TN-45? If so, take that to US-41, go South and that'll put you back on track

    Article in OverdriveOnline says traffic from I-24 eastbound is being diverted to Old Hickory Boulevard (Hwy 45) at Exit 40 and routed to I-65. Probably be a cluster unless you hit it in the wee hours.
