Work Continues on I-75 Landslide in Campbell County; Target date for one lane of I-75 South to reopen is May 21stThursday, May 10, 2012 | 09:28 am  
 
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.
