FHWA teams were on the ground to tour damage and ensure quick assistance and recovery in response to #Helene. In Tennessee, both I-40 and I-26 remain closed near the North Carolina state line. See photos. In North Carolina, I-40 remains closed in both directions from mile marker 0 to mile marker 20 with barricades in place. FHWA continues to work closely with state DOTs to evaluate and determine next steps for repairs and alternate routes.
