Construction crews are working road construction underneath the Interstate 40 overpass at Hollywood Drive – exit 79 – and delays should be expected.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) awarded a construction contract to Dement Construction Company to complete the widening of I-40 from west of US412 (Exit 79) to west of the US 45 By-Pass (Exit 80) in Jackson.

The 1.2-mile project also includes the reconstruction of two bridges and the installation of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS).
