I-40 Closed at TN/NC Border Due to Massive Rockslide

A rockslide closed I-40 in Western North Carolina, near the Tennessee border, on Sunday.  Engineers say that the slide could take months to clean up, so that traffic can be restored.  A detour has been set up.  Motorists traveling west to Tennessee should take I-40 West to I-240 West in Asheville to I-26 West.  Follow I-26 West from Asheville to I-81 South in Tennessee, back to I-40.  Eastbound motorists will follow the reverse directions.
