So many interstates shut down this year so far, the I 75 in Tennessee on the border of Kentucky is closed for 2 weeks to clear out a rockslide and make sure the rocks won't impede the freeway at this location again

the above was from natural causes, and the hillside they came tumbling off of appears to be about 150 feet higher than the road



Good video views of the hillside and work underway to clear potential problem rock, and likely, to set up ledge/shelves to catch any small falling rock
