Lebanon police are warning motorists to stay alert with the potential for heavy traffic in the first few days of In-N-Out Burger's anticipated opening of Dec. 10.

“In-N-Out has a comprehensive traffic plan that has seen success at other grand openings once vehicles arrive on the property,” Lebanon Police Department spokesperson Zach Patton said.

Police will have additional resources on standby to assist with areas of congestion that could occur along South Hartmann Drive, according to Patton.

No parking will be allowed along the shoulders of South Hartmann, Patton said. Motorists who normally travel on South Hartmann to get home should consider an alternate route in case of traffic buildup.

“While we hope to see little to no impact on South Hartmann Drive, we understand that an event of this nature will likely result in increased traffic,” Patton said. “Our main concern is keeping traffic flowing safely on South Hartmann Drive and Franklin Road as well as keeping standstill traffic off I-40."

Lebanon police will have officers on-site at the restaurant at 915 S. Hartmann Drive, just north of Interstate 40, for the opening, mainly for security. Those on-site officers are being funded by In-N-Out, Patton said.

In-N-Out is also planning to open a second restaurant on Dec. 10 in Antioch, at 4130 William Turner Parkway off I-24 in the Century Farms development.

A Murfreesboro In-N-Out location is planned to open Dec. 12, at 2508 Medical Center Parkway.

More In-N-Out restaurants in Middle Tennessee are in different stages of development.
