New I-24 East Exit Ramp to Broad Street Prompts Traffic Shift

Beginning Sunday evening, October 9th, as part of the I-24 Interchange Improvements project at Broad and Market Streets in Hamilton County, a new traffic pattern will be implemented at Exit 178 on I-24 East. As part of this new traffic pattern, I-24 East traffic will use Exit 178 to access Broad Street directly. A new traffic signal will be activated at the intersection of Broad Street and the new I-24 East ramp. In addition, US-27 South traffic will use the Williams Street exit to access Broad Street. Detour signs directing traffic to Broad Street from US-27 South will be posted.
