Abstract:

Interstate Highway 40 from Cove Creek, North Carolina to the Tennessee border opened in October 1968. The road runs through some of the most rugged terrain in the country and is the single largest highway project in the state's history. It is also one of the most difficult and expensive ever tried in the country.
