Author: Rick Hooper NEWPORT-Construction has finally started on a new Highway 411 in Cocke and Jefferson counties. Mark Nagi, community relations officer with the Tennessee Department of Transportation in Knoxville, said work on the 3.81-mile project just recently began. Charles Blaylock and Sons Inc. of Sevierville was awarded the $27.8 million contract for the section of road. The project, which runs from Grapevine Hollow Road to the four-lane section of Highway 25/70, is supposed to be completed by May of 2015. Another major TDOT project now underway is the replacing of the Wolf Creek Bridge on Highway 25/70 over the French Broad River and Norfolk Southern Railway.
