Detour
Due To I-40 Rockslide
RE-OPENED 4-25-2010
From the North Carolina DOT: RALEIGH —
The stretch of Interstate 40 in Western North Carolina that has
been closed by a rockslide since October reopened Sunday, April
25 at 6 p.m.
Work will continue in the area through the summer as crews complete
stabilization efforts – including the installation of rock bolts
and anchor mesh – at five additional sites.
Both eastbound lanes will be open; however, one westbound lane will
be closed for about three miles for this work.
Truck restrictions have been put in place for that stretch of I-40
westbound.
The restrictions are: Loads greater than 12 feet wide will be restricted
from travel on the single westbound lane as long as work continues
in the area. Wide loads traveling on I-40 West will continue to
use the detour in place since the road was closed: take Exit 53B
(I-240 West) in Asheville and follow I-240 West to Exit 4A (I-26
West). Follow I-26 West to I-81 South in Tennessee, back to I-40.
Traffic in the two eastbound lanes will adhere to normal weight/width
restrictions.
