    Good news for a lot of people. Hopefully they will keep it safe and stick to the speed limit for that very short section.
    We all know how much time one can lose driving 40 for a couple miles. That really messes up the fine-tuned schedule of super-truckers.

    it won’t take long after it’s reopened before there’s a good size accident of some kind… Rest assured the idiots will make sure that it happens

    I’ll still be faster than taking I-40 once it opens. That used to be a regular route I took from Raleigh NC to Nashville area. More miles but just as fast.

    I live at exit 447 in TN the last legal exit a truck can go to. The one lane starts about a mile before my exit heading east, right now it's like a ghost town going home, when this reopens I'll dread going home it'll be a cluster **ck.
