I-40 ROCKSLIDE OCT. 25,2009 2.5 MILE MARKER HAYWOOD COUNTY

I have no idea why engineers chose to build this stretch of I40 in the gorge. Landslides are all too common.

[benschlechter]

I wonder after all of that is cleaned up if they'll put a huge wall up like they did over a decade ago just a few blocks up near the state line.

[MorbidMango]

They still haven't finished cleaning it up.

I had a heckuva time trying get around the road closure this past Sunday (yesterday).

[FireThunderTV]

I was driving on that road twice within a week before the rock slide occured.

Glad I didn't take that job in Clyde NC.

[TrackGeeks]

I had drive through that area just the day before. Wow.. I know this is going to take some time to clean up. Just glad no one was killed.

[Garlannd]

Holy crap. I live nowhere near this place but holy crap. My friend lives in NC and they just told me about this.

Really something else to see it up close like this.

[mrrodneyalong]

well you cant just rush right into everything. This is a very dangerous project and a plan will have to developed. The goal is to stabilize and remove this with no lose of life and no injuries.

This video will get so many views before the day is over and perhaps even a million views (if not more) before this month is out! Be ready to become a YouTube partner, buddy!

Nice post! Thanks for posting the video, and comments, all. Glad no one was hurt, too. I travel this highway weekly so I'm getting a little sentimental watching.

Why hasn't/isn't this on the news in the Triangle this Monday morning. This will affect i-40 traffic for quite awhile.

Looks like a top down job. Wear your hard hat.

We were about the 8th car in line last night when this happened. Glad no one was hurt.
