I well remember the discussion about projected routes for I-40 from Knoxville, TN through the NC mountains, over to Asheville, NC .... the route chosen wasn't the one recommended by engineers and once again a large rock slide has closed it .... hopefully, this slide can be cleared and I-40 will reopen soon .... sadly, its only a question of time before history will repeat itself yet again

Re: I-40 Closed Again
Sometimes when we have gone to SC to visit the daughter and family,
we have traveled that way.
The wife really doesn't like driving/ridin through the Mtns one bit.

Re: I-40 Closed Again
We went through there a 2 years back just a couple days after a snow.
The road was fine, but the snow was close to the road and everywhere of course.
She was terrified. I was driving like 50, and almost being run over and she's wanting me to slow down.
