    It seems I26 may be open to commercial traffic again, anyone go down that way the last couple weeks? I gotta deliver to Black Mountain and I’m definitely not interested in going all the way up to 77

    Yes you can go 81 to 26 the only restrictions are wide loads on 26, I believe nothing over 10' wide.

    I'm sorry, didn't finish. Can a CMV make it from I-81 to Johnson City on I-26?

    Thanks. You can imagine how irritated a fellow might be to go all that way and then have to go through the woods

    Yes, they opened up one side with one lane either direction while the rebuild one of the bridges, when they complete that it'll be one lane either direction on new bridge while the rebuild the other is what I've read.
