This week & weekend look for road closures in Nashville

If you are heading to Nashville this week or weekend, remember, the inaugural Music City Grand Prix is happening. This will cause a bit more traffic in and round Nashville.

This should be an exciting event as Indy Cars will race the streets of downtown Nashville, which will cause many road to be closed.

Some road closures begin August 4 and most will be reopened by August 12 with a couple of exceptions.

During the duration of the Grand Prix, all streets connected to I-24 and Exit 49 will be closed.
