CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — After about an hour, Interstate 24 eastbound at Exit 4 in Clarksville has reopened, Clarksville Police said.
Clarksville Police was assisting the Tennessee Highway Patrol on a "serious crash" that shut down the interstate in that area, they announced Tuesday afternoon.
CPD was attempting to detour traffic, but it was at a standstill, they said.
The police asked the public to avoid the area "until further notice." Traffic was still congested and "may take some time to return to normal," according to Clarksville police.
If no alternate route is available for travelers, CPD says to expect long delays on I-24 and Wilma Rudolph Boulevard.
THP is the lead investigative agency, CPD said.
