Chattanooga, TN – June 18, 2025 – The City of Chattanooga’s Public Works
Department is issuing a traffic advisory regarding upcoming full closures
of I-24 at the Germantown exit, announced by the Tennessee Department of
Transportation (TDOT). These essential roadwork projects will involve
significant detours and impact local traffic flow, particularly immediately
following the Juneteenth holiday.
We would like to remind motorists that TDOT is rerouting I-24 westbound
traffic onto North Terrace and rejoining via South Germantown Road entrance
ramp. South Germantown Road will be closed on either side of I-24.
I-24 Westbound Closure: June 20-23, 2025
The first closure will affect westbound I-24 just east of Germantown. This
full closure will necessitate installation of a new ramp east of Belvoir
Avenue.

Reopening Expected: Monday, June 23, 2025, at 6:00 AM EDT
