Upon reaching the top of the rim, the highway curves northeast and has an interchange with SR 56 southbound and the eastern terminus of SR 141, the former of which connects to Smithville and McMinnville. On October 9, 1986, the FHWA approved an environmental impact statement for the remainder of the I-40/75 improvement project, which was extended two miles (3.2 km) west to SR 131. The first phase, which was accomplished in two separate contracts between August 1990 and August 1994, widened the section between east of the Pellissippi Parkway and east of Cedar Bluff Road, and reconstructed the interchange with Cedar Bluff Road.
The system was the first of its kind in the country, but experienced technical problems and was criticized as ineffective, leading to its decommission in July 1980. This segment of I-40 was widened from six to eight lanes between July 1979 and January 1980 by removing the right shoulders, narrowing the lanes by one foot (0.30 m), and shifting traffic slightly to the left. Sometimes known as "Tennessee's Main Street", I-40 passes through Tennessee's three largest cities—Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville—and serves the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the United States. In this appeal from attorney disciplinary proceedings, the hearing panel found that the attorney’s testimony about his income in a juvenile court proceeding to reduce his child support obligation violated Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 8, RPC 8.4. The hearing panel said that the attorney’s answers were carefully crafted to give the appearance of literal truth but were in fact dishonest in that they intentionally omitted relevant information fairly called for in the questions. The hearing panel found that the presumptive sanction was disbarment, but it reduced the sanction to a one-year suspension in light of the attorney’s prior unblemished forty-year legal career.

Likewise, the Butler Act, which Scopes was supposed to have violated—though it was never invoked again—remained on the books until 1967, when it was repealed by the Tennessee Legislature. Between July 1997 and November 1999, the 6-mile (9.7 km) section between US 25W/70 and I-81 in Jefferson County was widened to six lanes. A 1953 map produced by The Knoxville News-Sentinel of the Magnolia Avenue Expressway. The cloverleaf interchange at right was used for the junction between I-40 and I-75.

SR 66 also splits off at this interchange, but there is no signage for this. Two miles (3.2 km) later is an interchange with SR 92 in Dandridge. I-40 then reaches an interchange about four miles (6.4 km) later with the southern terminus of I-81, which runs into northeast Tennessee to the so-called "Tri-Cities" of Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson City.
Earlier construction
The 10.5-mile (16.9 km) segment between SR 13 in Humphreys County and SR 230 in Hickman County was completed on November 24, 1965. On July 24, 1966, I-40 was completed between Memphis and Nashville, with the dedication of the 64-mile segment between SR 22 in Parkers Crossroads and SR 46 near Dickson in a large ceremony on the Tennessee River Bridge officiated by Governor Clement and U.S. This was the first interstate highway segment completed between two major cities in Tennessee, and cost $109.87 million (equivalent to $683 million in 2020). At this point, I-40 enters the Cherokee National Forest and proceeds into the Pigeon River Gorge between the Great Smoky Mountains to the south and the Bald Mountains to the north, closely following the north bank of the river.

In response to this incident, between January 1987 and December 1988, TDOT flattened the cutslopes along this stretch of the interstate and moved the road 60 feet away from the problematic cliffside. The rugged terrain of East Tennessee presented numerous challenges for I-40 construction crews and engineers. Rockslides, especially along the eastern Cumberland Plateau and in the Pigeon River Gorge, have been a persistent problem both during and since the road's construction. The interchange between I-40 and I-240 in Midtown Memphis in 2003, shortly before reconstruction. Unused ramps and bridges and grading for the cancelled section of I-40 are visible.

The noncontiguous segment between US 11W and US 11E/25W/70 was also widened to six lanes. The project was completed on March 30, 1982, in a ceremony officiated by Governor Lamar Alexander. While these projects were underway, the concurrent part of I-75 on this segment was rerouted around the western leg of I-640, which was completed in December 1980, and the short segment of I-75 north of this segment became I-275.
Upon exiting the refuge, I-40 turns east and passes southeast of Brownsville, where it has interchanges with SR 76, SR 19, and US 70 over a distance of about 8 miles . Entering a long straightaway, the interstate passes through the suburban neighborhoods of East Memphis and Cordova, as well as the incorporated suburb of Bartlett in eastern Shelby County, over the next several miles. This stretch carries eight lanes, with the left lanes serving as HOV lanes during rush hour, and provides several interchanges with local thoroughfares.

This trail was officially named the Cumberland Turnpike, and became popularly known as the Walton Road after one of its surveyors, William Walton, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. It was constructed out of portions of Tollunteeskee's Trail, Avery's Trace, and the Emery Road, and passed through the cities of Kingston, Carthage, and Gallatin. It was built between 1799 and 1801 at a cost of $1,000 (equivalent to $19,461 in 2020). Miles (2.4 km) later is an interchange with US 45 , which also provides access to Humboldt and Milan. Advancing into a residential area, the interstate reaches an interchange with US 70, which also connects to Huntingdon, about five miles (8.0 km) later.

The first HOV lanes on I-40 in Tennessee were opened to traffic on November 14, 1996, with the completion of a project that widened the 8-mile section between west of SR 45 in eastern Nashville and east of SR 171 in Mt. Juliet from four to eight lanes. This project, which began in early 1995, was also the first in Tennessee to be constructed with split Jersey barriers in the median every few miles to allow police enforcement from the left shoulders. In December 1966, the segment between US 25W/70 and SR 113 in Jefferson County, including the interchange with I-81, was completed. On April 11, 1967, the short segment between Gay Street and US 11W in Knoxville was opened. The 16-mile segment between US 70N in Monterey and US 127 in Crossville was opened to traffic on December 1, 1967.
This project consisted of converting the interchange into a directional T interchange and the demolition of several unused ramps and bridges that had been constructed with the intent of I-40 continuing directly east of this interchange prior to the Overton Park controversy. The nearby cloverleaf interchange with SR 14 was also reduced to a partial cloverleaf interchange, and several additional auxiliary lanes and slip ramps were constructed. The northern merge with I-40 and I-240 was moved north of the SR 14 interchange. In western Nashville, I-40 passes through the Jefferson Street community, a predominantly African American neighborhood, which contains three historically Black colleges and was a site of the Nashville sit-ins during the civil rights movement. Planners considered placing this section near Vanderbilt University, but had ultimately settled on the current alignment by the mid-1950s.
