I-40 in Tennessee

Memphis
I-40 enters Tennessee via the Desoto Memorial Bridge crossing the Mississippi River. I-40 loops to the north through the northern neighborhoods and, except for the usual rush-hour traffic, is easy to follow and uneventful. At exit 116 you will notice a sign announcing the Natchez Trace State Park and Forest. This is NOT the access to the Natchez Trace Parkway. You can access the Parkway via exit 192 if you are eastbound – and exit 199 if you are westbound.

Paris
At exit 126 is US-641 which leads to Paris TN and US-76 (which, in turn, leads to Land of the Lakes Recreation Area and “The Trace”, its scenic drive-through. A little further east via US-76 is Fort Campbell and Clarksville.

Nashville
At exit 192 is the westbound approach to the Natchez Trace Parkway; at exit 199 is the eastbound approach. And now, as you can see from the increase in traffic, you are entering greater Nashville. At exit 206 you encounter I-440, the southern loop around the central city. The authorities have posted signs recommending 440 for folks continuing through Nashville to points east (specifically, Knoxville). We strongly recommend it, also. The traffic is heavy but much worse if you would follow I-40’s jig and jogs through the central city.

After you merge, once again, with I-40, 2 miles east is exit 215 – the Briley Parkway. A little over 5 miles north on Briley Parkway is the new Opryland USA. You don’t have to be a Country Music fan to be awed by the Hotel’s extensive inside gardens. It is very well worth a two-hour stop and tour. Don’t miss the Flat-bottom Boat excursion nicely narrated by their seasoned tour guides. Its only $5 and well worth it! They do charge $10 to park in their huge parking lot – but, there is an adjacent shopping mall with free parking and it is an easy stroll to the rear of the hotel. When is the last time you got $10 to take an easy stroll?
