I-40 is still closed.

Interstate I-40 is closed between Exit 451 in Tennessee and Exit 15 in North Carolina due to a rock slide. For information about the slide, including a map of the official detour, please visit the North Carolina Department of Transportation website.

Please note: NC-284 is not a recommended detour. This is a very narrow, winding, gravel road with sharp turns, switchbacks, and drop-offs. Commercial traffic is prohibited on this road.
