Both north- and southbound lanes of I-75 near the Tennessee/Kentucky state line were closed on Friday this past week after a rock slide in Campbell County.

Queried as to the time of the closure, Tennessee Department of Transportation officer Mark Nagi stressed weeks, not days, would be required to reopen the roadway fully.

I would be prepared for weeks, not days… https://t.co/zYzPtuxVJY
