hpM-16 TTm KnaitWi WwB-StrtW SiinJiy Sipt MB Stretch of Interstate 75 Due To Open Nov 1 Graffiti uy-- cw Deaths coal town which ceased operations a decade ago A new road is being built from Royal Blue to near Pioneer for realignment of State 63 Farther along 10 miles out of Caryville the stretch's only overpass is visible This is where the lower end of Stinking Creek Rd beginning in the vicinity of No Business near 25-W to the northeast reaches the Interstate via steep 200 feet deep This also is where the Roads Bureau plans to place the 255-mile route's second interchange and just why a lot of people will never know Stinking Creekers wanted it in their community some 10 miles farther north but politics and bureaucrats said Interstate Severed Read Pine Mountain begins 11 miles north from Caryville and a deep cut is immediate Next there's Red Dog Rd area with Elk Valley truly visible for tin first time and Newcomb village spreading out below This is where the mountainslide forced people from their homes Isolated Stinking Creekers who were within some eight miles of Jellico via Hoot Owl Hollow Rd were cut off when the Interstate severed the road Today the state is moving slowly to extend Crouches Greek Rd from Jellico into Stinking Creek but rights-of-way titles have bogged down this 5-mile construction route Meanwhile the state has repaved some 11 miles of 25-W between Jellico and Habersham and Stinking Creekers at least have a better surface over their 25-mile trip into Jellico Stinking Creek Rd now runs between miles from and 25-W at Habersham Engineer Proud The Interstate drops off Pine Mountain some four miles south of Jellico and hooks onto already-opened 1-75 at the Jellico interchange connecting with Kentucky Engineer Lowe and the Knoxville division office said foe state expects to open 1-75 before the Tennessee-UCLA football game Nov 2 All but 500 feet of pavement has been laid Shoulder work and metal guardrails flair type so that erring Starts on Page One houses and an automobile inside garage The slide all the earth went 300 feet beyond the Interstate's right-of-way" Geology Students To Visit At this point too some 4 miles south of Jellico the avalanche forced a 250-foot realignment of the four-lane artery itself Instead of moving along the side of Pine Mountain engineers changed the Interstate's courses to its top This meant slicing the mountain crest wide open This was done with the present Interstate level at the old Hoot Owl Hollow Rd crossing some 350 feet deep Now the former slope of the mountain is high above the pavement So difficult was this realignment task that construction men took three years to carve the roadbed from sandstone and limestone also revealing a fault in the earth's rock formation which now looks like a widened something U-T geology students will be coming to see on field trips Just northward earth-moving machines cut into the tunnel of an abandoned coal its rotting timbers still supporting a mine which was closed in 1918 Blasting on the mountainside covered the mine but water still emerges and willow trees are reaching skyward out of almost solid rock Abandoned Stills Covered There was the peril too of poisonous snakes Lowe said highway crews killed 20 rattlesnakes this summer alone but strangely no copperheads Abandoned moonshine stills caught up in Interstate progress were covered by earth Engineers found it necessary to fill valleys with earth to preserve the US Bureau of Public Roads' 4 per cent maximum grade standard Near Royal Blue onetime model coal town whose streets were paved with coal dust a landfill 200 feet high was required An 8-mile stretch near the Jellico end called for moving 16 million cubic yards of earth Attention: Mountain Climbers Come northward with me from Caryville: Two miles upgrade is Bruce's Gap overlooking Jacksboro and CAKWlUt Aid to Traffic SUrta on Page One into the intersection also turned without concern for approaching traffic or Main and passed the truck It was the only flagrant violation observed during the survey Trouble Pedestrians Pedestrians seemed to be having the most trouble in crossing Main An elderly man and woman waited several minutes for traffic on Main to clear Apparently giving up he raised his hand to an oncoming motorist who stopped and the couple scurried across All eight intersections were observed during the survey and the findings were all the same motorists were taking chances on the red flashing lights Motorists appeared to be observing the yellow flashing lights properly by slowing down and proceeding with caution One motorist a woman stopped unnecessarily for a yellow flashing light on Cumberland at Locust and caused several cars behind her to stop She proceeded after a short pause and the driver of the car behind her smiled at this reporter shook his head and proceeded Requires Responsibility But despite the fact that some chances were being taken on the red flashing lights the traffic flow was smooth at all much better than when the lights were operating on red and green cycles The survey pointed up the fact that the added freedom the flashing lights afford requires added responsibility on the part of all motorists and pedestrians for sake To assure this stricter law enforcement especially at the red flashing lights may be needed Fair Draws Record Gate on Big Day Starts on Page One as blisters scraped knees and minor cuts Three persons were also treated for stings from several escaped bees from the honey display in the Jacobs Building Among the unscheduled events at the Fair yesterday was a minor fire which broke out in a compost pile behind the Jacobs Building A fire truck quickly put out the small blaze before any damage was done NEW INTERSTATE This News-Sentinel mop
