Residents and travelers in Cocke County should be aware that a section of U.S. 25E (State Route 32) will be closed starting tomorrow night for infrastructure work. According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), the closure will begin at 7 p.m. and affect the area between Lehigh Road and Hilltop Drive.
The closure is necessary for the installation of a pipe culvert, and traffic will be rerouted until 6 a.m. on Monday next week. Tennessee Department of Transportation will have signs in place to direct drivers onto a detour, but the rerouting will depend on weather conditions.
Drivers should expect slower traffic during this time. Tennessee Department of Transportation advises checking current traffic updates before heading out and avoiding distractions while driving, especially near construction zones.
