Depot Avenue Water Line Project

January 26, 2018 Depot Avenue Area Water Main Installation Project Update – KUB contractor Garney Construction completed installation of the 36-inch water main on the section of Blackstock Avenue between the Western Avenue overpass and Hannah Avenue this week. Weather permitting, paving crews will be working on roadway surface restoration in that area next week.

Garney crews continued to progress north this week, beginning installation of the 36-inch main on the section of Blackstock Avenue between Hannah Avenue and Oak Avenue. Crews and equipment will be in this area through mid-February.

In addition to ongoing water main installation on Blackstock Avenue, Garney crews will replace a section of wastewater main on Ramsey Street next week, starting at the Hannah Avenue intersection and progressing south. This work is expected to last through early February.

Crews also continued activity to bore a section of pipe under railroad tracks in the W. Fifth Avenue area. Work in this area is expected to last approximately two months.

KUB will post weekly updates on this blog for the duration of the project.

(North Knoxville) Blackstock Avenue Road Closure [Extended, January 29 – February 5] – KUB contract crews will maintain a closure of a short section of Blackstock Avenue between the Western Avenue overpass and Hannah Street from 5 p.m., Monday, January 29, through 5 p.m., Monday, February 5, as work is performed on the water distribution system in the area. Alternate routes include Western Avenue, Broadway, and Oak Avenue. Access to local businesses will be maintained, and flaggers and signs will be on site to assist with traffic control.
