Closing an Interstate
On Thursday morning at midnight, a one-mile portion of Interstate-40 through downtown Knoxville shutdown for a 14-month construction project.
I shot and edited this video of the closure. It was really awesome to watch up close and happened surprisingly quick and without noticeable problems.

it doesn’t take much to bring the interstate to a grinding halt in this town. good footage, jersey!
I’m so glad I don’t go downtown very often these days. The parking was bad enough already.
@Chris F. -no doubt! Though I’ve been downtown quite a bit (not during rush hour) and have had no problems at all.
