TN 511

TDOT has implemented 511 as a resource for travelers wanting information about road and travel conditions, incidents, and construction on state highways. 511 is part of the TDOT SmartWay program. Travelers have the option of accessing road and travel conditions using the Web at http://www.tn511.com/ or through the 511 phone service. Tennessee 511 is a three-digit phone number for travel information, and it replaces the previous toll-free construction hotline

Tennessee 511 uses an automated voice response system, meaning callers are guided through the menu through a series of requests. Callers can ask for specific roadways or regions, and the system will provide information about traffic incidents, closures and other important roadway conditions.
