Genesis Road reopened and work on sign moving forward.

Crossville interim police chief Mark Rosser reports that Genesis Road has been reopened and a crew is onsite working on the sign that was damaged in the strong winds yesterday.

The winds caused the tall sign to lean toward Genesis Road and large power lines through the area causing the road in front of the business to be closed off to protect the public.

 A crew from the firm that erected the sign originally is reportedly onsite to stabilize or rework the sign.

This was the scene yesterday just off of the Genesis Road exit of I-40 with the sign

leaning toward the road.  Traffic was redirected starting yesterday afternoon.
