A portion of Interstate 40 in western North Carolina that was blocked by a rockslide will remain closed for an additional month due to delays caused by winter weather and the discovery of more trouble sites along the road.
The state Department of Transportation announced on Tuesday that it anticipates that the interstate will reopen by late April. The original contract called for work to be completed in March, but harsh weather delayed the work.
Officials also said they've discovered five other sites along the interstate that need to be stabilized. Four of the five sites are just west of the area where the rockslide occurred.
The rockslide occurred early on Oct. 25 near mile marker 3 in Haywood County near the Tennessee border.
