Road work on highway 11-E between Johnson City and Bristol is causing headaches for commuters. The section of 11-E between the bridge over Boone Lake and highway 394 is being repaved.
Officials say the project is necessary to repair holes in the pavement.
Road crews will lay two coats of pavement onto the existing asphalt. The project will take at least 45-days to complete. Roadwork also continues today on the interstate 181 bridge over Roan Street. Expect lane shifts today as crews continue their work to refurbish the bridge.
