History
I-265 opened to traffic on March 15, 1971.[3] It formed a link between I-65 and I-40 and formed the entire northwest portion of the Nashville downtown loop. The auxiliary route formed traffic problems on the loop as people preferred the main I-65 route over the auxiliary loop. In 2000, the designation was eliminated as I-65 was rerouted on the northwest and southwest parts of the downtown loop in an attempt to combat traffic issues.[4]
Exit list
The entire route was in Nashville, Davidson County.
