SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- Part of the road work leading from Interstate 40 into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is about done after nearly 2 1/2 years.
The first part of construction on Highway 66 is finished. That's the stretch of road that runs between Boyds Creek Highway and Nicholas Street in Sevierville.
A third lane has just been opened to traffic, both northbound and southbound.
The second phase should be finished by this time next year. It will widen 66 from I-40 at exit 407 to Douglas Dam Road.
The last part will connect Douglas Dam Road to Boyds Creek Highway. Work on that could start soon.
