Revised Construction Schedule for KUB Water System Improvements

Homberg Drive

KUB has revised the construction schedule for work to upgrade the water distribution system in the Kingston Pike and Homberg Drive area of Bearden.

Work will begin Tuesday, July 9, on Homberg Drive as opposed to Kingston Pike as previously announced. Crews will begin construction activities near the Homberg Drive and Whitaker Drive intersection and move west along Homberg Drive. There will be temporary lane shifts of Homberg Drive in the immediate work zone through September 2019. Access to businesses and driveways will be maintained while crews perform work on Homberg Drive. There will also be work completed on a short section of S. Mohican Street at Homberg Drive. Kingston Pike will not be impacted during this timeframe.

This project will replace more than 2,700 feet of aging pipe to improve reliability for customers and replace fire hydrants in the area.

Appropriate signs and devices will be in place to alert vehicle traffic to upcoming traffic changes. KUB asks commuters to be mindful of the presence of construction equipment, materials, vehicles, and workers when travelling through this area.

See the Homberg Drive map for more details. 

KUB is a municipal utility serving Knox and parts of seven adjacent counties and provides electric, gas, water, and wastewater services to more than 461,000 customers.
