North and South bound 75 closed in Tennessee

[4chs]

I have to be in Knoxville on Friday for a meeting too. Dagnabbit.

 

I would either get off of exit 29 in Corbin and take 25 South or take exit 11 in Williamsburg, turn right and take 92 to HWY 27. I can't think of the hwy # that will take you back to I-75(it's after you cross into Tenn), but it would be on the other side of the rock slide. I can find out that route and the time it takes if you would like.

 

TN63 is the Hwy that takes you back to exit 141, which is just south of the rock slide.

Is this what happened? If so wow, can't see how a month would fill that hole up.

 

The pics 2C posted are from the 2012 slide. Below is what I could find online that happened last Friday:

I think that may be from a slide a few years ago...it looks familiar.

Oh, I'm sorry about the mixup. I copied them from a friend's post on facebook. I was looking at those pictures thinking there is no way they can fix that in a few days or even weeks.

 

Hopefully this will be a short-lived clean up.

Hope it doesn't take long as well as I'll be traveling south soon. If not, I'm be routing around towards Jumper_Dad's way and NOT down 25E.

Might be best off jumping off on 461 just north of Mount Vernon and taking 27 down.

 

There's just not really a good way.

Why do all the bad things seem to happen in the state down south?

[NEERFAN]

Wouldn't even want to think about traveling into TN anytime soon. Were any cars involved in the slide?

Hopefully they have this fixed before April 10th heading to Florida for spring break.

Wait, you still in school? Must be on the 25 year plan. :lol2:

I forgot you had a young son. However couldn't let the razz go.

Heard no one was injured.

The leaves on the tress would be the give away.

Even coming around through Somerset and down 27 isn't going to be a great way.

 

The best way does seem to be to take Jellico Exit 160 to TN 297 to TN 63 and re-enter I-75 at Exit 141 in Caryville.

 

If you are coming through Somerset it's fairly easy to get on I 75 below the slide. From Somerset take US-27 South to Oneida Tennessee, then turn left onto 456 and follow it to 297 (Howard Baker Hwy) turn left onto 297 and follow it to I-75 Exit 141 (For those of you that frequent I-75 this is the exit with the huge White Cross next to Adult World) this detour will bring you out just below the Rock Slide.

 

From Oneida to I-75 is Approximately 25 miles.
