LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – The last two trailers at the former Del Rio Trailer Park are now on the ground on North Massachusetts Avenue near the hospital’s helipad.

This area is where one section of North Massachusetts Avenue dead ends at East Prospect Street/Back Valley Road.

The city purchased this property with plans to move the city public works department to this site allowing for future expansion of that department.

Notice the poles in place for the new traffic light.

Construction on the new intersection for Hwy 63 and Old Middlesboro Hwy located next to Big O’s car wash is well underway. This will replace the current intersection that is just west of this site. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 08/24/2022-6AM-PHOTOS COURTESY OF WLAF’S CHARLIE HUTSON)
