Knoxville, TN (WOKI) In the wake of devastation wrought months ago by Hurricane Helene comes some good news for Cocke County.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency will cover 75% of the cost to rebuild Conway Bridge, a historic structure in Cocke County.
The bridge, previously spanning the Nolichucky River, was built around 1925 and was washed away by flood waters brought on by Hurricane Helene.
Cocke County Mayor Rob Mathis says the bridge replacement will cost around $8 million, adding that the project was approved recently.
