‘Do not travel to North Carolina’: I-40 closed in East Tennessee and Western NC due to catastrophic flooding
NEWPORT, Tenn. (WSMV/WBIR) – Interstate 40 Eastbound is closed to all traffic at Mile Marker 432 in Cocke County due to catastrophic flooding in Tennessee and North Carolina, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
Part of I-40 going into North Carolina has washed away.
“This is a serious and life threating situation. DO NOT TRAVEL TO NORTH CAROLINA,” NWS Morristown said in a tweet.
Spokesman Mark Nagi shared several videos of the Pigeon River flooding onto I-40 in Cocke County.
The flooding caused a mudslide and washed away part of the interstate on I-40, WBIR reported.
It’s unclear when I-40 will reopen as North Carolina officials said all roads in the western side of the state are expected to remain closed until flooding recedes and repairs can be made.
This is a developing story.
