View Full Version : I-40 West-Bound thru NC is still "closed"

....or at least "effectively" ! One may remember it being closed due to the rockslide. Well they have "re-opened" it recently. One lane is still closed thru about a 15 mile section of it though which backs up traffic all the way to Asheville on busy days, which is most days now with summer traffic, etc. My point is, take the former "detour" for so long as NCDOT has it "open", yet with only one lane.

Having sat thru 4 hours of "open" freeway moving....when it moved at all....at exactly 1.8 mph (GPS) for 4 hours,.....trust me when I say....I-40 West ain't "open". Take the detour...it'll save ya a bunch of brain damage, and about 3 hours. Someone at NCDOT needs replaced IMO.

With kind regards,

Phil S.
