In Oklahoma City there is a section called the crosstown, the east end of which is at it's intersection with Interstate 35 and the west end at about May Avenue just south of the Oklahoma City Fair Grounds. There is an on going project to relocate this section of the interstate a few blocks south because of the condition of the crosstown bridge.
Arkansas
I-40 passes through six major cities in Arkansas: Fort Smith and Russellville on the western side, Conway and North Little Rock in the center, and Brinkley and West Memphis on the eastern side. In the US state of Arkansas, Interstate 40 runs from Dora Arkansas to the Mississippi River at West Memphis via the Hernando North Little Rock is a city in the central part of the US state of Arkansas across the Arkansas River from Little Rock in Pulaski County West Memphis is the largest city in Crittenden County, Arkansas, United States. It is a major thoroughfare for commerce as it is currently the only west/east interstate in Arkansas. In addition to this traffic, I-30's eastbound termination and merger with I-40 in North Little Rock cause the east side of the state to be inundated with more commercial traffic than the west side.
Tennessee
More miles of Interstate 40 pass through Tennessee than any other state. History In Memphis, I-40 was originally intended to go through the city's Overton Park toward downtown The interstate itself goes through the three largest cities in Tennessee: Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville. Memphis is a City in the southwest corner of Tennessee, and the County seat of Shelby County. Dandridge, Jackson, Lebanon, Crossville, and Cookeville are other notable cities and/or towns that I-40 travels through. I-40 goes through all of the three Grand Divisions of Tennessee, meaning one can pretty much see all of the major sights in Tennessee along Interstate 40. The Grand Divisions are geographic cultural and legally recognized regions each constituting roughly one-third of the State of Tennessee. . Before leaving the state, I-40 emerges into the Great Smoky Mountains. The Great Smoky Mountains are a major Mountain range in the southern part of the Appalachian Mountains, the second ridge line forming a north-south running mountain I-40 in general has a lot of hills, especially in the eastern half of the state.
The section of interstate 40 which runs between Memphis and Nashville is often referred to as "Music Highway. "
On May 1, 2008, a section of I-40 through downtown Knoxville near the Malfunction Junction has been completely closed to all traffic, and will be so for about 14 months, due to a massive reconstruction. Events 305 - Diocletian and Maximian retire from the office of Roman Emperor. 2008 ( MMVIII) is the current year in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, a Leap year that started on Tuesday of the Common " Malfunction Junction " is a derisive nickname given by motorists to a confusing dangerous or otherwise problematic interchange. Through traffic is required to use Interstate 640 or be funneled onto surface streets. Interstate 640 (abbreviated I-640) is a bypass of Interstate 40 running north of Knoxville Tennessee. The section was 4 lanes wide and quite substandard and congested, with many accidents. [5][6]
North Carolina
In North Carolina, I-40 merges with I-85 between Greensboro and Hillsborough, just west of Durham. Interstate 40 in North Carolina runs for 421 miles through the state of North Carolina from the Tennessee state line in the west to its eastern terminus North Carolina ( is a state located on the Atlantic Seaboard in the southeastern United States Interstate 85 (I-85 is an Interstate highway in the southeastern United States.

It is the County seat of Durham County In Alamance County, the highway is also known as the Sam Hunt Freeway. Alamance County is a County located in the US state of North Carolina. Due to a recent rerouting of I-85 around Greensboro, I-40 departs from it eight miles (13 km) east of the original split. I-40 has moved to a new alignment south of Greensboro, which also carries the new I-85 bypass and will eventually carry Interstate 73 as well. Interstate 73 (abbreviated I-73) is a main route of the Interstate Highway System, currently located entirely within the U The old I-40 through Greensboro is now a second I-40 freeway (Business Loop). The concurrency with I-85 extends I-40 another 12 miles (19 km) due to this new alignment.
In violation of Interstate standards, I-40 has one marked and two unmarked at-grade crossings in western North Carolina. I-blank widesvg|90px|right]] Standards for Interstate Highways in the United States are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials North Carolina ( is a state located on the Atlantic Seaboard in the southeastern United States About eight miles (13 km) from the Tennessee border in North Carolina, when going westbound, a sign for "Hurricane Road" will appear. Hurricane Road is a local dirt road whose quality is below that of the breakdown lane, and the intersection is controlled by a stop sign. It is a right-in, right-out entrance. A couple other unmarked local roads also directly link onto I-40 in the area, including a private access road for Walters Dam between mile markers 11 and 12 on the westbound side.
History
For about 1,000 miles, I-40 follows the general route of the Beale Wagon Road from Arkansas to California. The Beale Wagon Road was built in 1857-59 by a team led by Lt. Edward Fitzgerald Beale using a team of camels as pack animals. Edward Fitzgerald "Ned" Beale ( February 4, 1822 &ndash April 22, 1893) was a prominent person in 19th century America
In Albuquerque, New Mexico, I-40 was originally meant to replace Central Avenue through the center of the city. However, due to development and public opposition, a path going northward was chosen. The freeway intersects Central at both ends of the city.
In 1957, the California Department of Highways proposed that the route be renumbered to Interstate 30 instead because of the already existing U.S. Route 40 in the state. U. S. 40 was decommissioned in 1964, as a part of a major revamping of California's highway numbering system. [7]
The California state government submitted State Route 58 between Barstow and Bakersfield for I-40 extension potential in 1956 and 1968, though those requests were rejected. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. State Route 58 is an East - West Highway across the southern San Joaquin Valley, the Tehachapi Mountains, which border the Barstow is a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States.

US Route 466 was an east-west United States highway. Though it reached a length of around 500 miles (805 km the route was co-signed with other US routes for much of its
From 1963 to 1966, the US government considered a plan, part of Operation Plowshare, to use atomic bombs to excavate a path for I-40 through California. Operation Plowshare, better known as Project Plowshare not to be confused with the anti-nuclear Plowshares Movement, was the overall United States term for the development of The project was scuttled largely due to the cost of developing the explosives as well as the unavailability of a "clean bomb. "[9]
In Memphis, I-40 was originally intended to go through the city's Overton Park toward downtown. Memphis is a City in the southwest corner of Tennessee, and the County seat of Shelby County. Overton Park may also refer to the US Supreme Court case Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v Several miles of interstate were actually built within the I-240 loop; this portion of highway still exists and is in regular use as Sam Cooper Boulevard, reaching the eastern end of Chickasaw Country Club. Environmentalist opposition, combined with a victory in the United States Supreme Court by opponents of the Overton Park route (see Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v. Volpe) forced abandonment of the original plans, and the road never reached the park. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the federal judiciary. Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v Volpe, 401 US 402 ( 1971) is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that For over 20 years, I-40 signage existed on the dead-end route toward Overton Park. Eventually, the northern portion of the I-240 loop was redesignated as I-40.
Originally, I-40 was routed through downtown Winston-Salem, and it continued to follow that route until a new bypass was built. Winston-Salem is a city in the US state of North Carolina. As of the 2000 census the city population was 185776 in 2004 the city annexed an additional 17483 After the bypass was completed around 1992, I-40 was relocated to the new freeway. Year 1992 ( MCMXCII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar) The old routing was then redesignated as Interstate 40 Business, creating a business route that is actually an expressway for its entire length, a rarity among business routes. Interstate 40 Business (coloquially Business 40) is a 16-mile (27-km loop highway that serves the Downtown area of Winston-Salem. There are arguments that the former I-40 expressway in Winston-Salem should become an interstate again, especially since the road is currently undergoing an upgrade. There are no even loop numbers left for I-40, however, since the NCDOT has plans to use last available one Interstate 840 for the northern loop of a beltway that's being built around nearby Greensboro. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT is responsible for building repairing and operating Highways, Bridges, and other modes of Transportation The Greensboro Urban Loop (also known as Painter Boulevard) is a planned 41-mile (66 km Beltway around Greensboro North Carolina, United
