I have driven it a couple times. I cruised through one time. The other 3 times were lengthy back ups, but still the recommended, "you are on the fastest route" from GPS. I would believe that due to going up through Marshall, Hot Springs, and Newport takes forever.Wrong thread I know. Didn't want this to get lost
Has anyone driven I40 West from NC into TN since Helene? If so, any major backups?
Google maps wants me to go that route. Just not sure.
Leaving Thu to rural ST Louis area
Thanks in advance
So, unless you get extremely unlucky, even with delays it is the fastest route. The road itself just requires you to pay attention. It is nothing extreme. It's just one lane and somewhat narrow in places. It is amazing how they got that open so quickly.
