State Route 32 Slide Repair
Cocke County
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is constructing repairs to State Route 32 in Cocke County. A slope failure below the roadway in August 2023 led TDOT to reduce traffic to one lane. This project, which includes construction of an 800-foot retaining wall, erosion control measures, and other slide mitigation measures, will enable the construction of two 12-foot travel lanes and a 12-foot shoulder when complete.
Current Status: Construction is underway. One lane remains open to traffic with temporary signalization.
Construction start: February 2024
Estimated completion*: April 2025
Funding Type: This project was federally funded through the PROTECT program.

Traffic Impacts
One lane remains open to traffic with temporary signalization.
