POTHOLE REPAIRS LEAD TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON EASTBOUND I-40 IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY
On February 19, 2026, at 10:11 AM CT, pothole repair work began on Interstate 40 eastbound in Cumberland County, near mile marker 328.
The eastbound left lane (of two) and the left shoulder are fully blocked for safety while crews perform the repairs. Eastbound traffic is reduced to one lane (the right lane), which may cause delays and congestion.
Drivers should slow down, merge early, and stay alert for work zone signs and equipment. This is a typical temporary fix following winter weather damage, with updates available via TDOT resources.
