TRAFFIC ALERT: I-75 SB is closed just before the Tennessee line due to a massive rock slide in TN. Could be closed several days. Detours for I-75 SB traffic: take Jellico exit 160 to TN 297 to TN 63 and re-enter I-75 at exit 141 (Caryville). Wide load vehicles will need to detour at Exit 29 in KY to US 25 E and take the Cumberland Gap Tunnel into TN. Detour is approx 26 miles.

Tremors, that movie is so bad I have watched four or five times, though I probably have only seen it in its entirety once.

Yep I hit that last night on I75 northbound coming out of Tennessee. Had to take exit 134 to US25W, small curvy two lane road with probably several dozen if not hundred tractors on it plus the all the 4 wheel traffic. To get from Clinton Tennessee to jelico took me just under 3 hours. Also no cell service

If you zoom in a notch you'll see the southbound detour on 297 isn't quite so bad.

What's the mileage difference on that detour and I'm sure no one will be compensated for that reroute
