One Lane to Reopen Thursday on I-75 North in Campbell County

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation will reopen one lane of travel on Interstate 75 North in Campbell County on Thursday, March 24, by 11 a.m. All northbound lanes have been closed since last month due to a rockslide that occurred at mile marker 142.

One lane will remain closed on I-75 North as work continues to remove slide debris, stabilize the existing slope, and repair the interstate. All southbound lanes were reopened March 10. The entire repair project is scheduled to be completed on or before April 15.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution and reduce speed in the work zone, especially while workers are present.
