Relocated Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129)
Constructing yet another road in this area instead of widening and finding solid solutions to the existing Alcoa Highway seems like a long term problem and not solving what we have now. Light rail between Maryville, Alcoa, Louisville, Rockford, and Knoxville, and then Knoxville into other counties is long overdue and should be put in place. Any highway work needs to include buffered bicycle and pedestrian paths. Years back people would bicycle to work, and yes, even on Alcoa Highway. Improvements for safety and travel flow must be made with a holistic approach, but building yet another 4 lane highway will likely not solve these problems.

Current 129 route is unsafe.

Whatever is needed to improve safety and ease of movement on Alcoa Highway is needed. I am not so sure that the project as planned is the simplest & best solution; it seems to me to have too many interchanges, but I am not a traffic engineer. Maybe it is good.

We are delighted that work to make Alcoa Highway safer is finally underway. Do it all?and do it smart, to make that route safe and pleasant well into the future. Given the traffic load in that corridor, maybe we should be thinking of a public transportation option between Knoxville and its airport.
