NC/TN I-40 wesstbound rock slide-back open

June 12, 5pm update: Rock slide has been cleared and both lanes are open. However, be advised 1 lane may be closed from 6am to 9pm from M-TH as there is a moving lane closure between Fines Creek and state line. This will last through August.

June 11, 6:30am update: Left lane closed, right lane expected to open today.

Original: Just over a month after I40 opened back up, it has once again been closed due to a new rock slide from heavy rains. This slide is within feet of the last slide. Currently both westbound lanes are closed. One westbound lane is expected to open by 7pm.

    No surprise from me....it happens about every 4 months. It will open up and then it will rain or snow and slides occur again. This is what happens when money talks instead of listening to the engineers.
