Engineers work on Interstate 40 after Hurricane Helene's rushing waters destroyed half of it.

Take a sneak peek into the repairs of Interstate 40 that was partially destroyed by Hurricane Helene in September. Engineers are stabilizing a failing slope at the border of North Carolina and Tennessee using soil nails — steel rods drilled into the ground to reinforce the soil. The process prevents landslides and supports the roadway.
