For over a month, everything in North Carolina which was West of Hickory would be closed to "essential" traffic only (more about this later), as many roads were washed-away, including a major interstate, I-40, which connected Tennessee & North Carolina through the Appalachain Mountains (see photo 4).
TO THIS DAY, I-40 HAS NOT BEEN FIXED
It is still just as destroyed as in the photo; the only thing they've done is convert what was two lanes & a full shoulder westbound into one small lane each for eastbound & westbound traffic.
Did we lose the technology?
As of right now the government is estimating that end-of-year 2028 it will be rebuilt after we spend $1,360,000,000
One & a third BILLION dollars.
To this day, as has always been the case, the White folks of Appalacia have been forgotten.
