HELLO NEIGHBORS!
The Blount County Highway Department in concert with the City of Maryville and in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration is taking the first step toward improving Morganton Road from Foothills Mall Drive to William Blount Drive. As discussed in our Public Meeting (9-13-18), you will begin to see members of our professional design team conducting field investigations in the project area. They may be on your property. We are asking for your understanding in allowing this work to be accomplished. We do not expect this work to be destructive. Any/all sampling sites will be restored to their present condition. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Mowing Schedule We will be mowing and trimming Martin Mill Pike, Nails Creek and the Morganton area roads today. Please be aware and use caution when approaching our mowing crews.
Drone Program
The Highway Department is proud to announce our new "Drone Program". Our pilots are FAA certified commercial UAS operators.
These state of the art Drones have been invaluable in the assistance of obtaining video and images from the past few storms we have had in our area and allow us to see critical areas that we have never been able to see before.
We now have the ability to see road issues, storm water concerns, flooding issues and erosion problems in a way that we were previously unable to see thus allowing us to pre-plan repairs before they become dangerous and thereby better serve the citizens of our beautiful county.
