Entering Nashville, I-24 has a [[cloverleaf interchange]] with SR&nbsp;155 (Briley Parkway), a northern [[controlled-access]] beltway around Nashville. Less than {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} later, the Interstate joins a concurrency with [[Interstate 65 in Tennessee|I-65]], where the combined routes carry eight throughlanes and travel due south. About {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} later is an interchange with [[U.S. Route 41 Alternate (Tennessee–Kentucky)|US&nbsp;41A]]/[[U.S. Route 431 in Tennessee|US&nbsp;431]] (Trinity Lane). About {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} beyond this point, I-65 splits off and I-24 passes along the east side of downtown Nashville, where it reduces to six lanes and has interchanges with [[U.S. Route 41 in Tennessee|US&nbsp;41]], US&nbsp;431, and [[U.S. Route 31E in Tennessee|US&nbsp;31E]], and passes near [[Nissan Stadium]]. The interstate then crosses the [[Cumberland River]] on the [[Silliman Evans Bridge]] and joins in a concurrency with I-40, traveling southeast-to-northwest with eight throughlanes. {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=In}} later, I-40 splits off eastwardly, heading toward [[Knoxville, Tennessee|Knoxville]]. Located at this interchange is also a partial interchange with US&nbsp;41/[[U.S. Route 70S|US&nbsp;70S]] (Murfreesboro Road).<ref name=davidson>{{cite map |author = Long Range Planning Division Office of Data Visualization |title = Davidson County |year = 2018 |url = https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/tdot/maps/county-maps-(us-shields)/a-g/Davidson%20County.pdf |publisher = Tennessee Department of Transportation }}</ref>

Less than {{Convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} later is an interchange with the eastern terminus of [[Interstate 440 (Tennessee)|I-440]], which is also accessible from I-40 nearby. Between I-40 and I-440, I-24's eastbound lanes are split into two barrier-separated carriageways to prevent weaving of traffic destined from I-40 to I-440. A short distance later is once again an interchange with SR&nbsp;155 (Briley Parkway/Thompson Lane) near [[Nashville International Airport]]. Beginning at the next exit, [[Tennessee State Route 255|SR&nbsp;255]] (Harding Place), the left lanes operate as [[high-occupancy vehicle]] (HOV) lanes during rush hour. Over the next few miles, I-24 passes through the [[Antioch, Tennessee|Antioch]] neighborhood, where it has interchanges with Haywood Lane and [[Tennessee State Route 254|SR&nbsp;254]] (Bell Road), and crosses [[Mill Creek (Davidson County, Tennessee)|Mill Creek]]. I-24 then continues through southeast Nashville, reaching interchanges with Hickory Hollow Parkway and [[Tennessee State Route 171|SR&nbsp;171]] (Old Hickory Boulevard).<ref name=davidson/>

[[File:I-24 West Exit 66 - TN266 (32888023233).jpg|thumb|left|I-24 westbound in Smyrna, a suburb of Nashville]]
Continuing through the southeastern suburbs of Nashville, I-24 crosses into [[Rutherford County, Tennessee|Rutherford County]] about {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}} beyond. Immediately within the city of [[La Vergne, Tennessee|La Vergne]], the Interstate has an exit with a connector road to that city. It then enters [[Smyrna, Tennessee|Smyrna]] where it first has an interchange with [[Tennessee State Route 266|SR&nbsp;266]] (Sam Ridley Pkwy.). The Interstate then enters a long straightaway and reaches an interchange with [[Tennessee State Route 102|SR&nbsp;102]] (Almaville Road), which also serves Smyrna and the [[Nissan Smyrna Assembly Plant]]. Leaving Smyrna, the route enters an unincorporated urban area, before reaching a three-level interchange with [[Interstate 840 (Tennessee)|I-840]], the outer southern beltway around Nashville. I-24 then enters Murfreesboro, the largest suburb of Nashville and sixth-largest city in Tennessee. The Interstate first has an interchange with a local thoroughfare (Medical Center Parkway/Fortress Blvd), before reaching [[Tennessee State Route 96|SR&nbsp;96]], which also connects to [[Franklin, Tennessee|Franklin]]. A short distance later, the Interstate crosses the west fork of the [[Stones River]] and reaches [[Tennessee State Route 399|SR&nbsp;99]] (New Salem Highway). A short distance later, the highway reaches [[U.S. Route 231 in Tennessee|US&nbsp;231]], which also connects to [[Lebanon, Tennessee|Lebanon]] and [[Shelbyville, Tennessee|Shelbyville]]. Here, the HOV lane restriction terminates, and the Interstate reduces from eight to four lanes. Leaving Murfreesboro, the Interstate {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} later has an interchange with the [[Joe B. Jackson Parkway]], which serves as an outer beltway around southeast Murfreesboro.
