Tennessee will open its side of the highway at I-40 Mile Marker 451 to the state line once North Carolina is "ready to handle traffic again," according to TDOT spokesperson Drew Rutherford.

All eastbound lanes of Interstate 40 are shut near Airport Boulevard in Wake County due to a crash, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

A tractor-trailer explosion led to a crash involving multiple vehicles along Interstate 40 in Sampson County early Tuesday morning, officials said.
