I-40 to close in Knoxville, UT Trial Gardens harder to reach

16 years ago

In May I-40 through Knoxville will close for over a year. The I-640 bypass is offered as an alternative.

If you're coming through, you might want to print the map on the attached new article and wander down to Neyland Drive and visit the UT trial gardens for a pleasant break.

Gee! That is a very long time amd probably totally unnecessary. I thought we had a lock on DOTI's down here, but some seem to have escaped and gone to TN.

DOTI: Department of Transportation Idiots, Imbeciles or Incompetents. Your call.
