Unfinished Paving On Highway 58 - And Response

  • Wednesday, July 31, 2024

Is anyone experiencing a problem with the unfinished paving work on Highway 58? Where the paving ends at Maxi Auto Service, there is a raw, unfinished edge that has been left for quite a while now. It's very hard on our cars.

I'm trying to find out where to call to report it. I was given the TDOT number - 423-892-3430.
That office doesn't open till 8 a.m.

If this issue is a problem for any of you guys, please assist me in reporting it.

Same condition exists on Highway 58 merging onto Highway 153 North. The first time I hit weeks ago I thought I had blown out all four of my brand-new tires. The next time I slowed down and almost got rear-ended by a dump truck. 

If it is not going to be fixed anytime soon, some signage stating “Wheel bending tire popper ahead, please proceed with caution” would at least warn drivers of the hazard.
