Project Update

December 1, 2016 UPDATE - (Old City) W. Jackson Avenue to Temporarily Reopen [December 2-4] – KUB will temporarily reopen W. Jackson Avenue to through traffic starting at noon, Friday, December 2, until 6 a.m., Sunday, December 4, to accommodate traffic flow and parking access for the WIVK Christmas Parade. Note that the City of Knoxville will close access from S. Gay Street to W. Jackson Avenue during the parade Friday evening; however, access will remain open from Broadway. Due to the ongoing presence of construction equipment, curbside street parking and the sidewalk on the north side of W. Jackson Avenue will remain closed during this period. W. Jackson Avenue has been closed to through traffic since late October to facilitate utility upgrades ahead of the City of Knoxville’s Streetscapes project in this area. The traffic control measures and closure of W. Jackson Avenue to through traffic will resume at 6 a.m., Sunday, December 4. Please see the W. Jackson Avenue Streetscapes Project map for updates and more detailed information.
