Shopping At Bridgemont - “The Shops At Bridgemont” and “Bridgemont Commons ”The Goodman Company of West Palm Beach, FL will be developing the Bridgemont Shopping Center area called the “Shops At Bridgemont” which is located in the Bridgemont Development Project just South of the Wilderness at the Smokies. The Shops at Bridgemont includes 531,000 square feet of shopping, dining, and entertainment.

In addition, the Goodman Company will be developing “Bridgemont Commons” located on the other side of the Parkway at the proposed (2010) bypass location which connects to Dollywood.

"Bridgemont Commons is a proposed 200,000+- square foot power center located on the east side of Hwy 66 at the intersection of the new Hwy 66 Bypass that is expected to be completed in late 2010. This location will be an extension of The Shops of Bridgemont, a 531,000 square foot lifestyle center, directly across Hwy 66. It is projected that this new intersection of the Hwy 66 Bypass and Hwy 66 will be the preeminent intersection within Sevierville, TN.

With over 12 million yearly visitors to Sevierville, almost all of them exit off I-40 six miles to the north and drive south along Hwy 66. It is expected that the new Bypass will divert almost 40% of that southerly traffic which creates a highly synergistic intersection when including the Shops at Bridgemont and the 1000 acre Residential/Hotel /Events Center development across the street.” - The Goodman Company

Sevier County Roads & Developments

Sevier County is experiencing tremendous growth. Within the next five years, several major projects should be completed. Among those currently under construction are the Bridgemont Project (which includes the Sevierville Events Center and Wilderness Resort & Hotel) and the Dumplin Creek Development.

Along with these large scale developments comes the need for road expansion to a highway system that is already clogged during busy weekends as tourists travel from I-40 to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smoky Mountains through Sevierville and the Highway 66 corridor. The state has begun acquiring properties for the future expansion of Highway 66 from four lanes to six lanes in the near future. The department of transportation acquisition includes properties from Boyd’s Creek Highway (Rt. 338) to downtown Sevierville.…TO BE CONTINUED….
