Welcome to the Roadscapes Wednesday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Roadscapes Wednesday will feature roads and infrastructure related topics. Geek Alabama Editor / Publisher Nathan Young is often called the “road geek” for a good reason, Nathan loves roads and loves talking about roads!
Take a sneak peek into the repairs of Interstate 40 that was partially destroyed by Hurricane Helene in September. Engineers are stabilizing a failing slope at the border of North Carolina and Tennessee using soil nails — steel rods drilled into the ground to reinforce the soil. The process prevents landslides and supports the roadway. A temporary two-lane road is being built to get the route open as soon as New Year’s Day.
