Construction Is Set To Start On A New Bristol Virginia Hotel That Will Require A Short Downtown Street To Be Blocked Off. Birthplace Of Country Music Way, Between Cumberland Avenue And Lee Street Is Now Closed. Contractors Are Working To Convert The Former Executive Plaza Building Into An 18 Million Dollar Landmark Boutique Hotel. Officials Are Still Hoping For A Late 2017 Opening But The Project Could Move Into 2018. Once Completed, There Will Be A Strong Alliance Between The Hotel And The Birthplace Of Country Music Museum.
