Rock slide closes North Carolina interstate
ASCE SmartBrief | Nov 02, 2009
A rock slide that occurred last week will keep North Carolina's Interstate 40 closed for the next four months, officials say. Local leaders raised concerns about building the route through a gorge when it was first proposed. Completed in 1968, it has been shut down by landslides 10 times since 1972. Engineers have attempted to solve the problem by scaling back the slopes of the terrain, but the landslides persist because of "wedge failure" spots where planes of rock come together.
