Beginning Tuesday, October 21st, crews with Summers-Taylor will begin work on a pavement resurfacing project. The first step will consist of milling sections of three roads.
On Wednesday, October 22nd, crews will begin paving a segment (0.64 miles) of Erwin Highway from 11E to the Greeneville and Tusculum city-limit line.
When this section is complete, they will move paving operations to a 1.92-mile segment of Old Shiloh Road from Old Tusculum Road to Shiloh Road.
