California to North Carolina… TN/NC Road Conditions?

[Gigman]

Trip from northern Cal to northern NC, taking I40.
Know that I40 is gone between Tennessee (Knoxville) and NC (Asheville).
Anyone done any of the detours recently? Destination is Elizabeth City, NC. Thanks

I've taken I-40 many times, but 2 years ago we decided to use the I80 from Nor-cal to TN. The road condition is way better. Winter is a factor on I80 though. So is I40 in NM & AZ.
