====Clarksville and Western Highland Rim==== I-24 crosses into Tennessee from Kentucky traveling in a southeasterly-to-northwesterly direction into [[Montgomery County, Tennessee|Montgomery County]] and serving as a major means of access to [[St. Louis]] and Chicago to the northwest. Immediately within the eastern outskirts of [[Clarksville, Tennessee|Clarksville]], the fifth-largest city in Tennessee, the Interstate reaches an interchange with [[Tennessee State Route 48|State Route 48]] (SR 48), less than {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} later, which provides access to [[Trenton, Kentucky|Trenton]] in Kentucky to the north. About {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} later the Interstate reaches [[U.S. Route 79 in Tennessee|US 79]], which also provides access to [[Guthrie, Kentucky|Guthrie]] and [[Russellville, Kentucky|Russellville]] in Kentucky to the northeast. Bypassing Clarksville to the east, the Interstate next reaches [[Tennessee State Route 237|SR 237]]. The highway then begins a steep descent, with the westbound lanes utilizing a [[truck climbing lane]] to ascend the grade from the east. It then crosses the [[Red River (Cumberland River tributary)|Red River]] before reaching [[Tennessee State Route 76|SR 76]]. Leaving Clarksville, the highway enters a long straight section with several steep grades and crosses into [[Robertson County, Tennessee|Robertson County]] a short distance later. Several miles later, the Interstate reaches an interchange with [[Tennessee State Route 49|SR 49]] near [[Pleasant View, Tennessee|Pleasant View]] and [[Coopertown, Tennessee|Coopertown]], which provides access to [[Springfield, Tennessee|Springfield]] to the northeast and [[Ashland City, Tennessee|Ashland City]] to the southwest. The route then descends, utilizing another westbound truck lane, before briefly entering [[Cheatham County, Tennessee|Cheatham County]]. The Interstate then crosses another steep hill over the next several miles, utilizing an eastbound truck lane before crossing into [[Davidson County, Tennessee|Davidson County]]. It then has an interchange with [[U.S. Route 431 in Tennessee|US 431]] near the [[Joelton, Tennessee|Joelton]] community and begins a gradual descent into the [[Nashville Basin]], containing a westbound truck lane. Passing over the next few miles through dense woodlands, the highway reaches [[Tennessee State Route 45|SR 45]] ([[Old Hickory Boulevard]]) about {{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in}} later. Over the next {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} beyond this point, the Interstate crosses over another steep hill, utilizing truck lanes on both the eastbound and westbound ascent before reaching Nashville at [[Tennessee State Route 155|SR 155]] (Briley Parkway).
