Middle Tennessee Electric Traffic Advisory for I-24 Sunday

Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE) is advising motorists to use caution as crews and contractors perform electrical line work across Interstate 24 near Exit 76 in Murfreesboro on Sunday morning, June 28.

The project will require one full interstate traffic stoppage and multiple rolling roadblocks beginning at sunrise. The work is expected to take approximately five to six hours to complete.

Crews will replace and upgrade two three-phase conductor circuits to accommodate the Tennessee Department of Transportation's project to widen the westbound exit ramp and work on Medical Center Parkway.

Guardian Traffic Control will assist with traffic management, including temporary roadblocks and traffic stoppages, to ensure the work is completed as safely and efficiently as possible.

Motorists are encouraged to plan for potential delays, use caution when traveling through the area and follow directions from traffic control personnel.

In the event of inclement weather, the work will be rescheduled for a later date.
