田纳西州塞维尔维尔（Sevierville）的查尔斯·布拉洛克（Charles Blalock＆Sons Inc.）赢得了田纳西州运输部2月29日授予的290万美元的紧急稳定和道路维修合同，并立即开始工作。

Crews have been working 12-hour shifts daily to meet the re-opening deadlines, said Mark Nagi, TDOT spokesman. The southbound lanes opened the evening of March 9, ahead of the March 17 deadline, and the single northbound lane opened March 24, on time, he said.

大约80,000立方米的污垢和岩石正在从山坡上移走。涉及的区域高约120英尺，宽约600英尺。纳吉说：“切口距离盖伊电线大约20英尺”，沿着山顶的田纳西谷权力线沿着山顶延伸。

The slope, formerly nearly vertical, is being changed to a 1:1 ratio and will be stabilized, he said. “Approximately 60% of the entire slope from top to bottom will be covered with the anchored wire mesh,” he said. About 29,000 sq ft of wire mesh and approximately 400 anchors, averaging 50 ft long, will be used for stabilization.
