As an even-numbered Interstate, it is signed as an east–west route, though the route follows a more southeast–northwest routing, passing through Nashville, Tennessee. The numbering deviates from the standard Interstate Highway System grid, lying further north than its number would indicate west of Nashville. I-24 constitutes the majority of a high-traffic corridor between St. Louis and Atlanta, a corridor which also includes I-64 and I-57 northwest of I-24, and I-75 southeast of I-24.
