(North Knoxville) Blackstock Avenue Lane Closures [December 26-29] – KUB and its contractor will implement intermittent daily lane closures on the section of Blackstock Avenue between the Western Avenue overpass and Ramsey Street as crews saw-cut roadway asphalt and continue site prep work on a project to begin installation of a 36-inch water transmission line in this area. At least one lane will remain open to alternate traffic flow while this work is performed. Access to local businesses will be maintained, and flaggers and signs will be on site to assist with traffic control. Construction is expected to begin in this area in early January.
