Concrete Restoration – Crews will also work on short sections of the following roads requiring 24-hour road closures. The 24-hour time frame includes crews setting up forms, pouring and finishing concrete, time for concrete to cure overnight, and removal of forms the following day. Access to driveways will be maintained. Work on these roads will be scheduled so that all roads are not closed at the same time:

Closed-circuit Television Inspection – Crews will continue to work throughout the Phase 2 area next week. Temporary lane closures will be implemented as needed when crews are present.

Sequoyah Park – Morgan Construction and their subcontractors continue to rehabilitate the existing wastewater main and manholes in Sequoyah Park. See the attached map showing current work corridors within the park. The park, all entrances and parking areas, and boat ramp remain open during this work. Morgan Construction is also maintaining a fenced area in the middle parking lot for equipment and materials storage. KUB has coordinated work in the park with City of Knoxville Parks and Recreation and the Kingston Pike Sequoyah Hills Association. Informational banners have been placed in the park entrances/parking areas to provide park visitors with details about the wastewater rehabilitation work. Updates on the progress of work in the park will be posted weekly and as needed on this blog site.

Natural Gas System Work – KUB Underground Construction crews will be working to replace selected natural gas valves and customer service lines on short sections of Cherokee Boulevard, Scenic Drive, Windgate Street, Iskagna Drive, Kenesaw Avenue, Navaho Road SW, W. Nokomis Circle, Keowee Avenue, Taliluna Avenue, Bluff View Road SW, Cedarhill Road SW, E. Nokomis Circle, Woodland Drive, and Sequoyah Avenue over the next several months. Temporary natural gas customer outages may be needed in the immediate area where crews are working to safely facilitate this work. KUB Customer Support will notify all affected customers in advance of any planned outage. Additionally, temporary lane closures may be needed in association with this work.
