I-40 Closed in NC near TN line
At 2Am this morning a rock slide took place in the gorge on I-40 about 2.5 mi. from the TN line.. The interstate is closed and will be for quite a while.. Traffic will be diverted up I-26 to I-81 back to I-40 for West bound traffic..

Just the reverse for East bound.. Ya might want to look for updates on this before traveling in this area!

Rockslide closes both directions of Interstate 40 in N.C.
Rockslide closes both directions of Interstate 40 in N.C.

A detour has been set up. Motorists traveling west to Tennessee should take I-40 West to I-240 West in Asheville to I-26 West. Follow I-26 West from Asheville to I-81 South in Tennessee, back to I-40. Eastbound motorists will follow the reverse directions.


RALEIGH, N.C. — A rockslide in western North Carolina near the Tennessee state link has closed Interstate 40, and officials say it could take several months to clear the debris.

The state Department of Transportation Oct. 25 issued an emergency declaration. Initial estimates from engineers are that it could take several months to clean up the entire slide and restore traffic.

You know. You would think that NC would use this opportunity to fix this section of I40 now before another slide kills someone! Or......as much as it would suck,maybe they should just restrict all big trucks from this section of I40 and be done wit it. I'm sure all of the vibrations caused by the thousands of big trucks that roll through there daily has something to do with all of this slides.

But man that would be a helluva long way around going up and down I26 if they did!
