Massive flooding causes road closures in Memphis, the Mid-South
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A flash flood warning was issued Thursday morning for parts of the Mid-South as severe weather moves through early Thursday morning. WREG crews captured photos of the massive flooding on Interstate 240 under the Jefferson overpass, causing traffic delays. Drivers were seen attempting to push their vehicles through the flooding and still trying to pass through. Most streets were clear and skies were sunny by the afternoon, but the morning commute was a mess for many. We saw highway crews working on Interstate 240 trying to get the water off the roads. Nichole Lawrence with TDOT said the agency is constantly checking the drains to make sure drains are clear. 'It's part of our routine maintenance is checking our drains and we have a great partnership with the National Weather Service where we have calls and meetings with them when rain is predicted, so we are always ahead of that to make sure we can get out there and do a double check during our routine maintenance days,' Lawrence said. Severe weather causes power outages in Memphis Sheriff Shannon Beasley made a social media post saying they were also experiencing flooding on roadways all across Tipton County. A tractor-trailer was left flooded on Mt. Carmel Road near Barnett Hall Road, Beasley said. The Tennessee Department of Transportation has closed that road, along with Charleston Gift Road between Highway 54 and Highway 14, and Sherrill Cemetery Road, which is a dead-end road. Beasley says they are also working on other weather-related motor vehicle accidents and that areas along Highway 59 West, Highway 59 East, and Highway 54 are all experiencing flooding. He says Tipton County Public Works crews are working to barricade roadways and clear trees from the roads. More roadway closures are expected. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trucks carrying hazardous material to be diverted through I-70 after Colorado mudslide; traffic delays expected
The mudslide that forced a closure of U.S. Highway 6 at Loveland Pass is causing some changes that are likely to result in traffic delays, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. Due to the closure, CDOT crews will be escorting trucks carrying hazardous materials through the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels, which they're typically prohibited from driving through. During those trips, other traffic will be held at the entrance of each side of the tunnels, which are on I-70 on the western side of Clear Creek County, about 60 miles west of Denver. Sunday's landslide crossed the highway at mile marker 226, about three miles above U.S. 6's interchange with Interstate 70 near the Loveland Ski Area and one mile below the summit of Loveland Pass. The move is common when U.S. 6 has to close, but it will cause delays in regular traffic as the tunnels are traversed by vehicles carrying hazardous material, which can include oil or gas, specialized batteries, commercial or military explosives, various biological or chemical materials, and more. Those materials are regulated by both state and federal transportation officials. The mudslide, which was reported on Sunday and is approximately 15 to 20 feet in depth, has fully closed Highway 6 to traffic and there's no estimated time of reopening. Hikers and cyclists are also being asked to avoid the area until crews clear the mud and silt and determine the area is safe. No one was injured in the slide, CDOT said. "The area is still actively moving so we can't safely begin cleanup efforts yet," CDOT spokesperson Austyn Dineen told CBS Colorado. U.S. Highway 6 at Loveland Pass is seen on Monday, June 16, 2025 after a mudslide closed the highway. CBS CDOT says a similar slide occurred in the area in 2003 but they have no record of any similar activity in the area in the 22 years since then. Loveland Pass, where the slide occurred, crests the Continental Divide just shy of 12,000 feet in elevation.
