I-26 Bridges Fully Reopen in TN

August 30, 2025

In case you missed it, the I-26 bridges in Tennessee fully reopened in both directions 11 months after being wiped out by Hurricane Helene.

The twin bridges in Erwin near Exit 40/Jackson Love Highway along I-26 reopened in late August after being destroyed by the hurricane on Sept. 27, 2024. Two lanes reopened in each direction.
