A major road project is set to get underway in North Knox County in August.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation says the project in Powell to help alleviate traffic on Emory Road at I-75.
They are planning to add a diverted diamond interchange similar to the one at I-40’s exit 407, the Sevierville exit.
TDOT’s Mark Nagi explains how it will work.
He says Motorists driving either eastbound or westbound will navigate through two traffic signals and perform crisscross maneuvers. While motorists going westbound can go straight through the interchange or access southbound or northbound I-75.
