Information from WYSH Radio

The Tennessee Department of Transportation says the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 at the site of last month’s rock slide in Campbell County are still on schedule to be re-opened on or before Thursday, March 17.

One northbound lane at the slide site could be reopened a week after that, just in time for Easter weekend traffic, and the entire project to repair the damage caused by the massive slide remains April 15.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
