By Car

From Nashville I-65 leads north into Kentucky and south into Alabama, and I-24 leads northwest into Kentucky and Illinois and southeast into Chattanooga and Georgia. I-40 traverses the state east-west, connecting Knoxville with Nashville and Memphis. I-440 connects I-40, I-65, and I-24, and helps circumvent clogged major arteries during Nashville's rush hour. I-840, which will skirt Nashville's north side and connect I-40 with I-24N and I-65N, is under construction.
