Many small farmers in East Tennessee are still digging out from flood damage and some are years away from resuming normal operations. You can learn more about volunteer opportunities and other ways to support recovery efforts here: https://t.co/Ut1JuALFWX

Video: On Tuesday, July 15, @myTDOT Region 1 interns took a break from learning about careers at TDOT for a day of volunteering, helping a Washington County farmer clean debris from Hurricane Helene out of his barn and free farm equipment from inches of Nolichucky mud.

@natebain Coming from all directions. #GBO

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT! I-26 in Unicoi County is open to ALL traffic EXCEPT **oversized loads.**

From MM 39 to MM 40, traffic will shift entirely to the westbound lanes, with one lane traveling each way. The westbound bridge has been given a temporary fix, allowing vehicles to safely cross the Nolichucky River. Work continues on a permanent repair on the eastbound side.

Once the eastbound bridge repair is complete, traffic will be shifted to the eastbound lanes so the permanent repair can be done on the westbound bridge. Because the bridge is being shared by both directions of traffic, oversized loads CANNOT make it through.

Crews have worked nearly 50 thousand hours, combined, toward helping reconnect Upper East Tennessee in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. TDOT recognizes much more work is ahead, and every mile matters. #easttn #helene #mytdot #rebuilding #roadconditions

[myTDOT @myTDOT]

Progress is being made! SR 350 and SR 133 are back open!

TDOT’s work continues around the region to restore connectivity. We will be frequently updating the road and bridge closure map here: https://t.co/LHA4SaknlA

Take a look at the incredible before and after of the SR 107 bridge over the Nolichucky River. A Google image shows the bridge before Helene, while videos taken by TDOT employees show the aftermath. We know there is a long recovery road ahead, but TDOT is committed to rebuilding East Tennessee. #easttn #helene #recovery #nolichuckyriver

Red Cross shelters have opened across Upper East Tennessee!

If you or someone you know is in need of shelter, download the Red Cross app to find a shelter near you.

@espn Betting there was not an SID near a light switch/fire alarm here @TomSatkowiak

[Mark Nagi @MarkNagiTDOT]

Good news! A portion of I-640 West in Knox County is now fully open to traffic (from two to three lanes). The contractor is working towards having I-640 East also fully open to traffic in the next few weeks. Paving of shoulders is continuing along this corridor.
