Diesel Spill on Eastbound I-24 Mile Marker 9, Traffic Being Diverted

Clarksville Police DepartmentClarksville, TN – A tractor trailer had a drive shaft break and rupture the fuel tank on the tractor. There is a diesel fuel spill on I-24 Eastbound around mile marker 9. Traffic is being diverted off at Eastbound I-24 Exit 8 until clean up can be completed.

Travelers will be able to get back on the Eastbound Interstate at I-24, Exit 11. We do not know how long the clean up will take.

TDOT is working hard to try to get at least one lane of the Interstate open. They are working on getting the semis off the side of the road and getting a load of sand to the scene and hope to be able to open one lane eastbound.

It will be at least a half hour or more before that is accomplished. Then they will have to wait until a HAZMAT team arrives to finish the clean up before the other lane can be opened.
