Two lanes had been closed to motorists since March
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Today Neyland Drive returned to its traditional traffic pattern. There are now two lanes of traffic, both westbound and eastbound, open to motorists
One lane in each direction had been closed since last March, as demolition work at the Henley Bridge Restoration project was taking place over Neyland Drive.
Also, travelers on Locust Street are once again able to access Neyland Drive.
