KUB Lane Closures for Mar. 27-20, 2018

Posted: 03/26/2018
Due to utility work, KUB will have lane closures on State St., S. Northshore Dr. and Glad Hill Dr.

(Downtown Knoxville) State Street Intermittent, Alternating Lane/Road Closures [Overnight, March 27-28]
– KUB crews will implement intermittent lane closures as needed on State Street between Cumberland Avenue and Union Avenue starting at 11:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 27, through 6 a.m., Wednesday, March 28, to allow safe access to manholes. There will also be a full closure on the section of State Street between Cumberland Avenue and W. Church Avenue lasting approximately 1 hour when KUB crews are present. During all other times one lane of northbound traffic will remain open. Access to local businesses will be maintained, and flaggers and signs will be on site to assist with traffic control. This traffic control plan will need to be implemented several times in the coming weeks to complete work, and additional advisories will be issued. 

(West Knoxville) S. Northshore Drive Lane Closure [March 27] – KUB crews will reduce a short section of S. Northshore Drive between Tamarack Road and Timbergrove Drive to one alternating lane of traffic from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24, as work is performed on the electric distribution system in the area. The westbound lane will be closed while the eastbound lane remains open and is used to alternate traffic through the work zone. Access to local driveways will be maintained, and flaggers and signs will be on site to assist with traffic control. 

(West Knoxville) Glade Hill Drive Intermittent Lane Closures [March 27-30] – KUB contract crews will implement an intermittent lane closure of a short section of northbound Glade Hill Drive between Chatham Circle and Piney Grove Church Road from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. daily, starting Tuesday, March 27, through Friday, March 30, as work is performed on the wastewater collection system in the area. The northbound lane will be closed while the southbound lane will remain open and be used to alternate traffic through the work zone. Appropriate signage and flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic control, and local traffic access will be maintained. Follow-up advisories will be issued as necessary. 

Some listed closures may extend beyond the scheduled times depending on the conditions encountered during excavation and construction. Appropriate traffic control measures will be in place at each location to assist motorists traveling in these areas. Due to the ongoing presence of workers and equipment, motorists are advised to use caution and expect temporary delays in these areas.
