Interstate 65 (I-65) runs from Ardmore north in Tennessee to just south of Franklin, Kentucky, forming part of the national Interstate 65, which goes from Mobile, Alabama, to Gary, Indiana. In Tennessee the highway's official name is the Albert Arnold Gore Sr. Memorial Highway.
I-65 enters Tennessee from the south near the town of Ardmore, and passes through mostly rural territory for 65 miles (105 km). At exit 1 (Tennessee State Route 7), US-31 separates from the Interstate, having merged at Athens, Alabama, and immediately services Elkton. After skimming the edges of Columbia and Spring Hill, the road comes to an interchange with Interstate 840. The road widens to eight lanes and travels through Franklin and Brentwood, Tennessee, before coming to an interchange with Interstate 440. The highway enters Downtown Nashville, sharing brief concurrences with Interstate 40 and Interstate 24. The road then separates from I-24 and intersects with SR-155 (Briley Parkway) on the north side of Nashville, and widens to ten through lanes. The widest section of I-65 is found on the north side of this interchange, where the road briefly accommodates 15 through lanes (8 northbound, 7 southbound). The road passes through Madison, and comes to an interchange with SR-386 (Vietnam Veterans Blvd) in Goodlettsville, and narrows back to six lanes. SR-386 can only be accessed from the northbound lanes. The highway then enters a largely rural area, passing through White House, and it exits near Portland into Kentucky to the north.
