I-40 Open with One Lane Traffic



The N.C. Department of Transportation has reopened I-40 West from Exit 20 to the Tennessee state line to traffic. The road has been closed since Jan. 31 when a rockslide occurred at mile marker 451 in Cocke County, Tenn. Traffic should flow normally on I-40 West through North Carolina. However, motorists crossing into Tennessee will see the road narrow down to one lane at the site of the rockslide. They are urged to drive slowly and use caution while traveling through the area. Motorists can access real-time travel information for I-40 West in North Carolina at any time by calling 511
