SR 63 Bridge Construction and Paving
The purpose of this project is to increase the viability of State Route (SR) 63 from the current two-lane format to a four-lane corridor. The improvements are intended to reduce crashes and address the immediate safety needs of the heavily-traveled corridor.
The Campbell County SR 63 portion of this 5.2-mile project consists of the grading, drainage, construction of a concrete box bridge and paving on SR 63 from near Frontier Road/Woodson Lane.
The Claiborne County SR 63 portion of this 5.3-mile project consists of the grading, drainage and paving on SR 63 from the Claiborne County line to Hall Lane.
