January 18, 2019 Update – The section of
Neyland Drive east of Joan Cronan Way was temporarily reduced to one lane in
each direction for several days this week as KUB’s contractor set up traffic control
measures for eastbound lane shifts. Now that those measures are in place,
traffic flow will resume with two eastbound and two westbound lanes open at all
times.
The eastbound curbside lane will be closed as part of construction
upgrades at the KUB Kuwahee Wastewater Treatment Plant with the center turn
lane and inside lane used to shift traffic and maintain two lanes of flow on
this section of Neyland Drive. Both westbound lanes will remain open as normal
on this section of Neyland Drive. Due to traffic flow shifting to the center
turn lane, eastbound traffic will not be permitted to make left-hand turns on
this section of Neyland Drive.
This
traffic control pattern will remain in place on this section of Neyland Drive
through February 2021.
In
addition to the lane shifts on Neyland Drive, there will be intermittent
closures on the section of Neyland Greenway located behind the Kuwahee
Treatment Plant near the Tennessee River.
This section of Neyland
Greenway will otherwise remain open, and KUB will coordinate with City of
Knoxville Parks and Recreation to communicate any closures well ahead of time.
The
TWRA boat ramp on Neyland Drive will be accessible only to emergency vehicles
during this period.
