Tennessee officials say a stretch of
U.S. Highway 64 buried under a rock slide will not reopen for at
least two months while the debris is cleared away.
The state has awarded a $2.1 million emergency contract to
Sevierville-based Charles Blalock and Sons, Inc.
A Tennessee Department of Transportation engineer said there are
about 3,000 dump truckloads of material to be removed.
The Tuesday rockslide buried portions of the highway along the
Ocoee River near Ducktown.
Crews will also remove unstable material from the mountain and
use 40-foot long rock anchors to help secure material along the
slope.
