It's going to take some getting used to, but a new section of Veteran's Boulevard is now open from Dolly Parton Parkway to Middle Ridge Road.
SR 449/Veteran’s Blvd. (previously known as New Middle Creek Road): The City of Sevierville announced that the section of Veteran’s Boulevard between Dolly Parton Parkway and Middle Ridge Road was opened to traffic Thursday afternoon, November 9, 2006. This TDOT-funded road will provide a six-lane route from Sevierville into Pigeon Forge. City officials plan for Veteran's Boulevard to eventually replace Middle Creek Road as the main thoroughfare running from east Sevierville to Pigeon Forge. More long-term plans call for a bridge crossing the Little Pigeon River and an extension that will intersect with the Winfield Dunn Parkway further north.
City spokesperson Bob Stahlke acknowledged the new traffic pattern was confusing rush hour drivers, but said he thought they would adjust quickly when they try Veteran's Boulevard and get used to the different route.
