BEAR TRAP REPORT Reported March 4, 2002 by Jim

Interstate 40 in Tennessee,  Mile Marker TN 297 Westbound near Monterey TN.

Jim reports: "I-40 Westbound starting at mile marker 297 down to mile marker 292 is all down hill 5% grade and the posted speed for truckers is 55 mph 65 for autos. This is a bad stretch and many 18 wheelers have gone out of control and wrecked. The TN. Hwy. Patrol sits on the shoulders and medians and due to the sharp curves you cannot see them until it's to late. They issue many tickets to truckers in this area."
