It isn't supposed to crest until 8 pm tonight. I'll be surprised if the westbound lanes survive. Title: Re: Eastbound lanes of I-40 Post by: Tnphil on September 27, 2024, 09:31:06 EDT :wow:

If it was the only connection between SC and my family in TN, we'll see you on Teams Title: Re: Eastbound lanes of I-40 Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 28, 2024, 03:31:32 EDT We drove the dragon's tail two weeks ago by mistake.

Just out for a lazy Saturday drive. I had no idea I had stumbled upon the most notorious motorcycle road in the world until it was too late to turn around. :doh: Title: Re: Eastbound lanes of I-40 Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on September 28, 2024, 04:22:11 EDT I-26 is also out at Erwin. There are bridges out that completely cut off both eastbound and westbound lanes.

Title: Re: Eastbound lanes of I-40 Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on October 02, 2024, 03:40:40 EDT I drive through Hot Springs yesterday. Oh my, that river went through that town with a vengeance. If you pray, those people could sure use them. 🙏🏻

I've seen the video/[icturesIf the remaining spans are ok, that should be a relatively quick repair I saw an article that TDOT was going to start awarding contracts for bridge repairs this week, but no details on what the priorirues were Judging by the amount of time/work required to repair the highway slide above Oneida on I-75 the I-40 repairs for much worse damage are going to take a lot of time to repair So gettiing I-26 back is critical for goods and services Title: Re: Eastbound lanes of I-40 Post by: 10EC on October 03, 2024, 12:39:34 EDT Judging by Google maps, there?s no good way to get between TN and NC right now, unless you want to chance it on The Dragon. :wow: We drove the dragon's tail two weeks ago by mistake.

The pylons that support that bridge are VERY good trout spots. I fish there 3-4 times a year. Title: Re: Eastbound lanes of I-40 Post by: PirateVOL on October 03, 2024, 12:55:08 EDT On TOS there was a poster with links to a shipping company that says they were told March for I-26 and September for I-40
