NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Following a weekend closure, I-65 through Wedgewood in Nashville fully reopened to drivers Sunday night. Both directions were closed as TDOT crews demolished the bridge deck on the Hamilton Avenue bridge.
I-65/HAMILTON AVE: All lanes on I-65 open as of 10 p.m. Sunday night! As crews rebuild the bridge deck, expect lane closures on I-65 overnights (8 p.m.-5 a.m.). The project is expected be complete by December.

While this portion of the project wrapped several hours earlier than expected, there is still a lot to be done until the bridge is fully completed.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
