Welcome to Tennessee 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 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.
Real-Time Traffic Conditions
Visit TDOT SmartWay for real-time traffic information - including camera images and message boards - as well as weather-related road conditions. Cameras and message boards are live in Knoxville, Memphis and Nashville, and are in the design and construction phase in Chattanooga and Memphis.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation provides Tennessee 511 as a public service to commuters and travelers in Tennessee.
