After being closed for more than a week from a rockslide and flooding, I-40 at the North Carolina and Tennessee border reopened one lane each way on June 27, officials said.

The latest: Crews worked nonstop to clear debris in four separate spots and fix ramps near the Waterville exit. The repairs were finished about a week ahead of what was expected.

• Flood waters and rocks forced the interstate shut on June 18, with a number of cars partially underwater.
• No injuries were reported during the slide and flooding.

By the numbers: The partial reopening includes one lane open in each direction, and drivers should expect lower speed limits as repairs continue.

• Oversized loads are still not allowed because of previous repairs from Hurricane Helene last year, not the current rockslide.
• Crews will stay on scene to keep working, so anyone passing through should watch for workers.

No word yet on when the highway will fully reopen to normal traffic.
