Sequoyah Hills Wastewater Project

March 8, 2019 UPDATE – Noelton Drive Water Main Replacement Project – KUB Underground Construction crews have completed all water main installation, testing, and customer service line connections on Noelton Drive, Chippewa Circle, and Dogwood Lane. Paving and restoration will continue on these streets over the next several weeks as weather conditions allow.

 Noelton Drive is ready for final paving and restoration as weather conditions allow over the next several weeks.

Sequoyah Hills Wastewater Rehabilitation Phase 1 – Manhole rehabilitation crews will continue to work at various locations throughout the Phase 1 area. Temporary lane closures may be needed in the immediate area where crews are working. Manhole repair work requiring closure of the eastbound curbside lane of Kingston Pike between Lyons View Pike and Kingston Park Drive scheduled for this past week was postponed. Details associated with this work and closure will be communicated pending TDOT approval of the traffic control plan.

Sequoyah Hills Wastewater Rehabilitation Phase 2 – KUB Phase 2 contractor, Morgan Construction, started construction activity this past week with pipe-bursting crews working on short sections of Kenesaw Avenue (between Woodland Drive and Iskagna Drive) and Keowee Avenue (between Southgate Road and West Nokomis Circle). Rehabilitation work will continue on Keowee Avenue next week while paving and restoration crews work on Kenesaw Avenue. Work in these areas will require daily road closures between 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. The contractor will close the westbound lane of traffic on the section of Cherokee Boulevard between Tugaloo Drive and Kenesaw Avenue daily from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. starting Monday, March 11, through Friday, March 15, as part of ongoing wastewater collection system work in the area. Eastbound traffic will be maintained on this section of Cherokee Boulevard. Detour routes around the work zone will shift to coordinate traffic flow and construction in other areas:

Monday, March 11, and Tuesday, March 12 – Westbound traffic flow will be detoured          via Tugaloo Drive, Taliluna Avenue, and Kenesaw Avenue.

 Wednesday, March 13, through Friday, March 15 – Taliluna Avenue will close for          wastewater collection system construction. Detour route will shift with the eastbound              lane of Cherokee Boulevard used to alternate traffic flow. Flaggers will be present to              alternate traffic and maintain flow.

Additionally, as noted above, Taliluna Avenue will be closed to through traffic between Tugaloo Drive and Kenesaw Avenue daily from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., starting Wednesday, March 13, through Friday, March 15. Appropriate traffic control measures, including signs and barriers, will be in place to assist with traffic flow.
