Slow traffic is ahead this weekend on eastbound Interstate 24, the Tennessee Department of Transportation said.

The eastbound side will be narrowed to a single lane close to mile marker 162 for continued cleanup of a chemical spill.

A tank truck crashed and rolled several times early Thursday, leaking chemicals into a creek. The truck driver was hospitalized in Chattanooga.

The environmental contractor will be working between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CST today and Sunday.
