US 441, the primary connection between Gatlinburg, TN and Cherokee, NC reopened this morning after a rockslide forced the closure of the road 90 days ago. Phillips and Jordan, Inc. (P&J) was awarded the repair project in February by the Federal Highways Administration. Scheduled for completion by May 15, P&J earned the entire incentive payment by completing the project a month early.

Ted Phillips, Chairman (third from right) visited the 441 project last Wednesday to congratulate the project team in anticipation of their early completion and for achieving this milestone accident and incident free. Ted was joined by the P&J project team including Edd Satterfield, Project Manager (second from right) and R.A. Luker, Project Superintendent (fourth from right).
