News Talk 94.1/AM 1600 Where The Upper Cumberland Talks
An overturned tractor trailer has a portion of Putnam County’s Interstate 40 closed Saturday night.
The westbound lanes of the interstate are completely closed as of 10:30pm following the rollover. The incident happened near mile marker 270 between the Buffalo Valley and Smithville exits. Construction had been taking place in this area earlier Saturday. It is not known if that played any part in the accident.
Putnam County 911 reports the length of the closure is unknown. Tennessee Highway Patrol is on the scene.
Highway 70 would be an alternate route.
