Sequoyah Hills Wastewater Project

February 22, 2019 UPDATE – Noelton Drive Water Main Replacement Project – KUB Underground Construction crews completed installation and testing of the new water main on Chippewa Circle this week. Crews will shift the work zone to Dogwood Lane next week. Customer service line connections remain on Chippewa Circle. Paving and restoration work will continue in these areas as weather conditions allow.

The above-mentioned streets will remain closed to through traffic for the duration of this project, which is scheduled for completion in early March 2019. See map for installation areas. Flaggers, signs, and other necessary traffic control measures will be in place in association with these closures.

Sequoyah Hills Wastewater Rehabilitation Phase 1 – Contractor crews continue closed-circuit TV inspections of wastewater system pipes and manhole repairs requiring intermittent lane closures as weather allows between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Arrowhead Trail (between Lyons View Pike and Blows Ferry Road) through March 1, 2019. Mellen Avenue will serve as an alternate route. Pipe lining crews finished work in an off-road easement near the intersection of Blows Ferry Road and Alta Vista Way. See attached map.

Sequoyah Hills Wastewater Rehabilitation Phase 2 – KUB and its contractor, Morgan Construction, are scheduled to begin construction activity in the northern sections of Phase 2 on Monday, March 4. Portions of Phase 2 construction take place in Sequoyah Park and along Cherokee Boulevard/Sequoyah Greenway later this spring. KUB and the contractor will coordinate all work in those areas with the City of Knoxville. Sequoyah Park will remain open for use at all times with construction zones isolated by barriers. All impacts related to work in those areas will be communicated well in advance. KUB will also coordinate with the appropriate agencies to avoid conflicts with the Knoxville Marathon and Dogwood Trails in the area this spring. Customers can continue to monitor the progress of work in Phase 2, including information on active work zones and traffic impacts, via this blog. Additionally, customers throughout Sequoyah Hills will receive notice about Phase 2 by mail soon. See the attached Sequoyah Hills construction phases map.
