A folded diamond interchange (Exit 30) joins I-840 with U.S. 431 (Lewisburg Pike) just ahead of the exchange with I-65. U.S. 431 parallels I-65 north into Franklin, where the route combines with U.S. 31 along an at-grade bypass of the city center.

Crossing over U.S. 431, I-840 expands to three lanes leading to Exit 31 with Interstate 65.

Area terrain, punctuated by nearby Lookout Hill at over 1,120 feet above sea level, resulted in a unique design for the interchange linking I-840/65. Joining east to north and west to south, two lengthy ramps run through the southeast quadrant of the exchange.

Ramps from I-840 east and west combine through an impressive rock cut. The two lanes join I-65 north along an eight lane stretch widened between August 2013 and June 2016.
