Bidding will begin soon for the East Church Street bridge project in Greeneville.
According to Greeneville Public Works, the plans to fix the bridge have been approved.

The bridge closed to traffic in early May. TDOT had originally scheduled to replace the bridge in 2022, but a March 2019 inspection revealed significant degradation of the structure.
