We, the undersigned residents, business owners, and supporters of the Nolichucky River region, urge the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), Washington County Commission, and elected officials of the State of Tennessee to commit to:

Rebuilding Corby Bridge as soon as practicable with modern safety and flood-resilient design.

Securing all available federal and state funds (including FEMA Public Assistance) to ensure full and timely replacement of this vital transportation link.

(Note: In February 2025, Washington County was awarded about $6.8 million from FEMA toward this project, but community advocacy is necessary to keep momentum going). �

FEMA

Providing clear timelines for engineering, procurement, and construction phases.

Ensuring transparency and community input throughout the planning and rebuilding process.

This bridge’s loss has caused long detours, delayed emergency services, hindered commerce, and damaged quality of life for residents and travelers in the area. We request swift action to restore this critical infrastructure for safety, access, and economic reasons.
