Rock Slide Shuts Part of Highway 64
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 10:12AM A series of rock slides shut down U.S. Highway 64 in Tennessee, and officials are saying it may take up to a week to clear the debris which include rocks as large as some cars.
The route is a major highway in the area and the Tennessee Department of Transportation has set up detours by using I-75 and U.S. Highway 74.

I had never seen a rock slide like this. It was a good thing they new ahead if time and had the road closed or that their just wasn't any traffic caught in the slide.
