NOTICE!
If you are eastbound on I-40 and are west of the NC border, Please note
that, due to
several severe landslides, I-40 is closed just east of the Tennessee-North
Carolina border. Traffic heading east on I-40 is advised to take I-81 to I-26
(in Tennessee), then follow I-26 to I 40 in Asheville, NC. Traffic heading west
on I-40 is advised to take I-240 (in Asheville) to I-26 west. Follow I-26 (you
will actually be heading north) to I-81 in Tennessee. Take I-81 west to I-40. It is 'hoped' that
the blockage will be cleared and the pavement repaired by the
end of April.

Once
upon a time Tennessee had the reputation of being the 'wide open' state.
Times change. It used to be that many drivers entering Tennessee from
Virginia or North Carolina would 'open her up', or 'peddle to the
metal'. As long as you appeared to be driving safely some excesses were
ignored. No longer. Speed limits in Tennessee are enforced 'rigidly': no
5 miles over allowed.

Then
there is Memphis and Nashville...oh yeah! Have we received e-mails!
People seem to habitually exceed the speed limits through these cities.
The police say they 'can't catch them all..." but those they do
catch face very expensive fines. One of those fines could pay for all
your gas from coast to coast! So don't spoil your trip; watch out in
Tennessee! |
