Massive rock slide closes I40 at TN/NC state line

DOT: Clearing rock slide from I-40 could take months



Posted: Today at 1:13 p.m.
Updated: Today at 8:18 p.m.
Waynesville, N.C. — A rock slide in the mountains outside Asheville could disrupt traffic on Interstate 40 for months, the state Department of Transportation said Sunday.
The rock slide occurred at mile marker 2.6 in Haywood County, near the Tennessee state line, shortly after 2 a.m.
No one was injured but some vehicles were damaged.
“They drove up on this … without seeing that the rocks had fallen off into the road,” Lt. Greg Christopher with the North Carolina Highway Patrol said.

Both sides of I-40 have been closed, and DOT has recommended a nearly 140 mile detour.
  • Westbound travelers should exit from I-40 onto Interstate 240 West in Asheville. From I-240 West, get onto Interstate 26 West. Follow I-26 West into Tennessee. Then, get onto Interstate 81 South, which connects to I-40 West.
  • Eastbound travelers should exit from I-40 onto I-81 North in Tennessee. Take I-81 North, to I-26 East into Asheville. Then, transfer onto I-240 East, which connects to I-40 East.

Its not all that massive...but yes, some rocks fell.

I would call it a rock slide...not quite big enough to be called massive, but a bit too much to be called small too.
