Has anybody noticed the sidewalk work that is underway on West State between Volunteer Parkway and the five point intersection of Gate City Highway/Euclid Avenue? Work on both sides of the state line - in both Virginia and Tennessee.
Bristol Tennessee and Bristol Virginia city crews are preparing the area for the resurfacing of the road that is scheduled later this construction season. The project not only includes sidewalk repair/replacement and ramps at intersections as are now under construction, but will also result in a realignment of the travel lanes to enhance traffic flow and safety on this important roadway.
The roadway, once resurfaced and striped, will provide three-lane sections in certain areas and at key intersections on West State Street including protected turn lanes. The improvement will improve the level of service of West State Street at minimal cost while enhancing a key gateway into downtown Bristol.
