KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) – The cost of repairing a 65-year-old dam in northeast Tennessee has risen by nearly 50 percent from what the Tennessee Valley Authority had originally estimated it would cost.

Chattanooga Times Free Press reports the TVA now estimates it will cost $450 million and take another five years to fix seepage problems at the Boone Dam near Kingsport.
