August 8, 2013 - Work in Zone 5 is nearing completion, with water and natural gas services being tied over to the newly installed mains. Placement of temporary pavement within Zone 5 is tentatively scheduled for Monday, August 12, weather permitting. Transition into Construction Zone 6 is set to begin Tuesday, August 13. Work in the Lyons Pointe Lane area just to the east of Lyons View Pike continues. The Construction Map has been updated to reflect the Zone 5 progress. While not directly related to the ongoing multiple utility upgrade project along Lyons View Pike, KUB is also scheduling tree pruning and vegetation removal work in the area at this time to coincide with the road closure so that the impact to customers is held to a minimum.
NOTE: The contractor will not be working this Saturday and Sunday, August 10-11. Due to the pending transition from one work zone to the next, utility installation work in Zone 6 can’t be started until temporary paving work has been completed in Zone 5.
Schedule Note: Construction continues to progress well ahead of schedule. At the current rate and weather permitting, it is possible that all construction work and final paving within Lyons View Pike can be completed in September. KUB continues to work closely with the contractor and the City of Knoxville to refine the construction schedule in order to firm up plans for the reopening of the roadway.
