BLOUNTVILLE â Plans for a new access road to Sullivan Countyâs under-construction West Ridge High School are at a dead end (pun intended) at least for the time being.
The more than $65 million school will not get an access road off Jericho Drive next to Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee, the county commission decided in a called meeting held virtually on Tuesday night.
The new school, near Exit 63 of Interstate 81, is off Lynn Road, a curvy, two-lane route with multiple inclines. The road is partly in Kingsport and partly in Sullivan County.
The county plan moving forward is to widen the county portion of that road to allow two buses to pass, which would require a 24-foot-wide paved surface.

BLOUNTVILLE â Sullivan County Board of Education Chairman Randall Jones said the last conversation he had with Jack Bales was about how to increase teacher pay by âright-sizingâ the school systemâs buildings and employee base.
Bales, a former BOE member, died Dec. 9, and at the time of his death, he was serving on the Sullivan County Schools Salary Equalization Committee that has laid out an early retirement incentive plan for teachers that could result in pay scale increases.
The committee was to have met Dec. 15, which would have been Balesâ 79th birthday, but the meeting was cancelled. Bales served 24 years on the school board, from 1992 to 2016.
