KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – In order to repair the massive landslide that has 
occurred near mile marker 143 on I-75 in Campbell County, I-75 South 
will remain closed, and one lane of I-75 North will remain open.

The target date for one southbound lane and a second northbound lane to 
re-open is Monday, May 21st. TDOT will continue to re-evaluate the 
situation, and adjust that schedule accordingly.

Crews are excavating and constructing a soil nail wall, which will 
require nails to be drilled as many as 50 feet underneath the 
Interstate. This is being done in order to stabilize the rock slope.

Currently, I-75 North has one lane of traffic open for approximately 
three miles, from mile marker 141 to mile marker 144.

Motorists should expect potential long delays and use extreme caution 
while traveling through this area.
