1-81 in Jefferson County It will cross over Highway 139 in Sevier County State Rep Tom Jensen made the announcement yesterday He said redesign plans are under way on portions now open to traffic between 1-640 just west of Loves Creek Rd and Asheville Highway and from Dan-dridge east to 1-81 Present construction contracts on unfinished portions of the route are being increased to six lanes as construction proceeds Rep Jensen said These projects will all be open to traffic by the faU of 1974 No Land Buying Needed Commissioner Robert Smith has advised me that these reconstructed segments can be built on existing right-of-way without any new land acquisitions and that completion of the ovet-all project can be expected within five Rep Jensen said Reps (Bid) Anderson and Loy Smith joined Rep Jensen in praising the Highway Department for its long range planning and action in heading off what they termed "a potentially colossal traffic Highway Department studies indicate this stretch of highway will be die second most traveled in the state they said The studies also show that it will bear 48 per cent of all gutomobile traffic and 80 per cent of all truck traffic now using Highway 11W It also takes traffic from Highway 11E and US 70 and will become a major corridor for traffic now traveling to Sevierville and Gat-linburg on Chapman Highway they said Savings Cited The widening is to include the 1-40 Holston River bridge that the General Assembly designated would be named the Bid Anderson-Ralph Adcock Bridge The late Mr Adcock was a legislator Improvement will keep a segment of
