Several roads will be closed due to President Trump’s visit to Nashville Wednesday. Some closures will be brief and others will last for an extended period of time.

The President's specific travel route has not been released due to security reasons, but drivers can expect roads in general areas of Nashville to be closed during his visit.

  • Roads between the Nashville International Airport and The Hermitage - temporarily closed some time between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. 
  • In-bound roadways between The Hermitage and the Municipal Auditorium downtown - temporarily closed some time between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.

  • James Robertson Parkway from 3rd to 5th Avenues will close at around 3 p.m. (or earlier depending on crowd size)

Most roadways will be reopened after the motorcade clears certain segments of the route. However, downtown roads effected will remain closed until the end of the rally.
