====Eastern Nashville Basin and Eastern Highland Rim==== [[File:I-24 West - Exit 110 - TN53 (46295736504).jpg|thumb|right|I-24 westbound in Manchester]] Upon leaving Murfreesboro, I-24 enters a rural area, passing through a mix of farmland and woodlands and maintaining a straight alignment. Several miles later, the Interstate begins a gradual, largely unnoticeable, ascent out of the Nashville Basin onto the eastern [[Highland Rim]]. A few miles later, the Interstate briefly enters [[Bedford County, Tennessee|Bedford County]] and then has an interchange with [[Tennessee State Route 64|SR 64]], which connects to Shelbyville, near the Bedford–[[Coffee County, Tennessee|Coffee]] county line. I-24 then briefly descends, curves to the south, then the east, before once again resuming its gradual ascent, where it surpasses an elevation of {{convert|1000|ft|m}} for the first time in Tennessee.<ref name=topo>{{cite map |map-url = https://en-gb.topographic-map.com/maps/lsuz/Tennessee/ |map = Tennessee |author = Topographic-Map.com |date = January 22, 2022 |title = Topographic-Map.com |publisher = <!--Needed--> |access-date = January 22, 2022 }}</ref> Upon reaching the top of the rim several miles later, the interstate has an interchange with US 41. {{convert|5|mi|km|spell=In}} later, the highway enters [[Manchester, Tennessee|Manchester]], where it crosses the [[Little Duck River]] and then has interchanges with [[Tennessee State Route 53|SR 53]] and [[Tennessee State Route 55|SR 55]] in short proximity. A short distance later, the highway reaches an interchange with US 41 once again. Leaving Manchester, the Interstate maintains its relatively straight trajectory and passes through the northeastern corner of [[Arnold Air Force Base]] over a distance of about {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}}. The Interstate then travels over the next {{convert|10|mi|km}} through a wide swath of mostly farmland, before entering [[Grundy County, Tennessee|Grundy County]] and reaching an interchange with [[U.S. Route 64 in Tennessee|US 64]] and [[Tennessee State Route 50|SR 50]] near the town of [[Pelham, Tennessee|Pelham]], where it begins a concurrency with the former route that is largely unsigned. A short distance later, I-24 crosses the [[Elk River (Tennessee River tributary)|Elk River]], before reaching the base of the [[Cumberland Plateau]].
