Thanks for the info, RFP!  I'll be making multiple runs to the airport, and it's nice to know about this in advance.

Update May 20
Starting  tonight there are overnight lane closures on I-24. This affects an 8 mile section west of the festival.  This is the area between the I-24 campground and the festival exit.  The lanes close between 8PM-6AM.  TDOT doesn't do road construction during Memorial day weekend so you shouldn't  have to worry about the construction itself BUT...

They have dropped the speed limit to 60 MPH in that area, so leave early.

I drove west bound through this area tonight. west = leaving festival towards Nashville. No construction other than on an off ramp.
But EAST bound (east=heading towards festival from Nashville/smyrna) They were working near mile marker 62 and it was backed up for 3 miles.

They are have finished the overnight closures of this section of 24. Newly paved roads.
