MANCHESTER, Ky. (WATE) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet continues to advise motorists to avoid Tennessee's Interstate 75 southbound work zone on weekends due to congestion.
I-75 remains under construction at mile point 141 in Campbell County, Tennessee.
The highway is reduced to one lane between mile points 141-144 as crews continue working to repair damage caused by a catastrophic slide.
KYTC suggests that drivers use U.S. 25E and U.S. 27 as alternate routes.
Those routes are:
- U.S. 25E detour route for I-40 destinations east of Dandridge, Tennessee (wide loads allowed throughout): Take Exit 29 at Corbin, Kentucky, follow U.S. 25E to Morristown, Tennessee, take I-81 South to its junction with I-40. http://g.co/maps/egnr2 U.S. 27 detour route for I-75 Southbound destinations south of Caryville, Tennessee, via Somerset, Kentucky (wide loads allowed throughout): Take Exit 62 (Mt. Vernon) in Kentucky and follow U.S. 25 to State Route 461 to State Route 80 to State Route 914 (Bypass) to U.S. 27 into Tennessee and follow SR 63 back to I-75 at Exit 141 (Oneida/Huntsville).
- U.S. 27 detour route for I-75 Southbound destinations south of Caryville, Tennessee, via Williamsburg, Kentucky (NO WIDE LOADS PERMITTED): Take Exit 11 (Williamsburg) in Kentucky and follow State Route 92 to U.S. 27 into Tennessee and follow SR 63 back to I-75 at Exit 141 (Oneida/Huntsville).
