Today, February 13, 2023 the Blount County Highway Superintendent, Jeff Headrick, announced the indefinite closure of the
bridge located at 5009 Big Springs Road near US 321.
The emergency closure is due to structural deficiencies observed by the Highway Superintendent and the
County Engineer.
Highway Superintendent Headrick said, “While I never like closing any road, my top priority is to keep the
Blount County citizens as safe as possible.”
At this time, there is no schedule for reopening the bridge. Different options for repairs are currently being
explored.
