The rockslide that's making a mess out of I-40 near the North Carolina/Tennessee border may cause issues here in North Buncombe as well. The detour route takes passengers on the future I-26 to and from I-81 in Tennessee. Outside of the increase in traffic - especially around the holiday season - will be the large loads that reguarly use I-40. The North Buncombe bridges - Aiken Road and Flat Creek bridges for instance - have a low ceiling. The detour to the detour route for these large loads is up N. Buncombe School Road and down Monticello to New Stock. Of course, loads have been known to bottom out at the N. Buncombe School/N. Main/Dula Springs/Monticello intersection and causing a congested mess.
Have you noticed anything yet since the detour route went into effect last weekend?

Release of 'Dixie Salvage' by Asheville author
PublishAmerica is proud to present "Dixie Salvage" by Asheville resident Gary Isringhaus.
"Dixie Salvage" is a story about a dysfunctional Southern family who owns an auto wrecking yard in Asheville. The matriarch of the family dies, leaving secrets, and the patriarch then follows her to the grave. The two surviving sons get into a conflict about what’s to become of the salvage yard. One son, Sonny, who’s been living in California, comes back a day after the funeral and wants to sell it. The other son, Floyd, the homebody, refuses to sell. Earlene, their cousin, is caught in the middle with her love for both of them. An insurance adjuster shows up and refuses to honor the life insurance policy of the father because he believes the old man drank himself to death.
"Dixie Salvage" is a farcical story dealing with death, the occult, the resurrection of the dead, transgender metamorphosis, stock car racing and a utopian search for paradise.
Isringhaus is an author an award-winning artist and photographer.
