Annoying as it is at times, I'm thankful I have the I-20-I-75-I-24 "Atlanta alternative" route when I need to travel from Columbia, SC to the Nashville, TN area.  I think it's only about 15 miles longer.

Now if they really built I-3, I'd probably find a way to make it my route to TN, just for the hell of it...

But anyway, looks like one lane of I-40 westbound has been open since Sunday...

News & Observer: DOT crews clearing I-40 rockslide that closed a lane near Tennessee border

QuoteWAYNESVILLE -- Workers from the North Carolina Department of Transportation worked Saturday to clear a 50-ton rockslide that landed partially in a land of Interstate 40 about 7 miles from the Tennessee border, an agency spokeswoman said.

QuoteThe slide happened shortly after midnight and forced officials to close the right lane of the highway. The spokeswoman said crews had to wait until daylight to assess the rock face to determine if it was safe for removal crews to work. They hoped to reopen the lane by Saturday evening.
