Work crews have begun removing debris, stabilizing the hillside and building an access road to start repairs on U.S. 441 between Gatlinburg, Tenn., and Cherokee, N.C., where a landslide Jan. 15 took out a 200-ft section of road.
APAC-Atlantic, Harrison Division, of Knoxville started work Jan. 28 and is expected to complete it “in a few weeks,” according to National Park Service officials. The estimated cost is $200,000.
