Three lanes of Interstate 75 in East Tennessee are now open and the fourth is expected to open by the April 15 deadline as crews continue to clear the highway and stabilize the hillside after February rock slides shut it down.
Charles Blalock & Sons Inc., Sevierville, Tenn., won the $2.9-million emergency contract for stabilization and road repairs awarded Feb. 29 by the Tennessee Dept. of Transportation and started work immediately.
