Houston... We Have a Problem!!!

Tail of the Dragon: TN & NC Contact List Regarding Rock Slide March 15, 2010 | Facebook

Not good and sure does seem quite ridiculous although I suspect something's not right here. There's no way it should take that long.

Yikes. One of the comments on that post said Sept. 1 was just an arbitrary date that had to be entered into the system, so it might not mean anything. But I could see the road still being closed by the time ZDayZ rolls around, but hopefully it is reopened in time.

tooohip · 03-24-2010, 01:06 PM

it's a rock slide... They should already have it cleared and the road open, LOL!

Just received a clarrification for the TNDOT Public Information Officer regarding the September 1 date. The date is an ESTIMATED date. The contract for clearing the slide will be awarded on Monday (3/29), at that time a more accurate opening date will be posted. TNdot DOES SAY it should take several months to clear the slide. We will post as soon as we hear updates.

Sucks, but there are plenty of other great roads in the area and the activities are all still great fun.

Yes, the dragon is really just more of a novelty, although I suppose its disappointing if this will be your first time there.

This royally sucks balls....

Isn't that what they make dynamite for? Sheesh!

tooohip · 03-24-2010, 04:40 PM

We'll have to see what happens as we get closer. I can't imagine they wouldn't open the road up sooner than that.

Oh well even if it isn't open there's plenty of other fun roads there, great scenery and awesome nightlife at the cabin parties, LOL! . ;-)

Rockslide cleanups can be a challenge. I think they can get the road open quickly but my guess is it won't be until after Z dayZ. They have to knock more rock off the face and install retaining walls/fences before its deemed safe for passage, probably.

StillenZ · 03-24-2010, 06:29 PM

I just don't understand. I am sure there's more to it than I'm thinking but am I the only one who things it seems like a simple task to clear the road and do whatever needs done to secure the area and make sure it's safe?....

There are people that I'm sure are "professionals" at clearing all of this stuff up. Z dayz is 2 months from now... I mean really???... I must be ignorant.

The real problem is dealing with the rock face. There is a lot of loose rock on the face that still hasn't fallen down, so you can't just start picking up the rocks at the bottom. You have to get all the other crap down first, then clean everything up, then secure the face with some retaining devices if necessary. Then it's got to be deemed safe for passage... it just takes time unfortunately, and since it's not on a real high priority road (like an interstate highway) it's not going to get done overnight.
