Residents Weigh In at TDOT Hearings The Tennessee Department Transportation held two hearings concerning possible improvements to Highway 126 in Sullivan County. A new plan was put forth by TDOT that would see no graves disturbed at East Lawn Cemetery and know impact to the historic Yancey's Tavern. There was positive support of both the midday and evening meetings held Kingsport Civic Auditorium. The proposed project however would limit that stretch roadway to just two lanes of travel. The Sullivan County commission and many citizens wanted the highway widened to four lanes from Center Street all the way to Interstate 81. The study continues. (CS)
