Construction is moving along on a connector between Sawmill Road in Norris and Norris Freeway (U.S. 441), which is scheduled to be completed by Nov. 1. The new route is intended to help re-route trucks from the Norris Industrial Park to keep them off narrow residential streets in the city. The state Transportation Department is paying for the construction of the nearly quarter-mile link. (photo:G. Chambers Williams III )
