Lyons View Project Update

July 26, 2013 Update - All work in Zone 4 has been completed, and Blalock has now transitioned into Zone 5. Within Zone 5, the trench that will contain the new utility lines will transition from the north lane (westbound) to the south lane (eastbound) in the vicinity of 5628 Lyons View Pike. In general, as placement of the new lines within the trench is completed and the trench is backfilled, access to individual driveways within Zone 5 will shift from Northshore Drive to Kingston Pike as the trench work moves past each driveway.

Blalock has also begun working simultaneously in Lyons Pointe Lane immediately to the east of Lyons View Pike. This work only affects those residents that live along Lyons Pointe Lane.

Reminder: Access to all Cherokee Country Club (CCC) facilities is only available from Kingston Pike. Access to CCC from Northshore Drive will not be available until the project is completed.

Lyons View Pike remains closed to through traffic between Lakeshore Park on the west end and Colony Way on the east end. Harley Drive remains barricaded at the Lyons View Pike intersection for the duration of this project.

Schedule Note: Although the weather has been unusually wet through much of the project, the contractor has made good use of the extended work hours, longer work week and multiple crews to make excellent progress. As such, KUB is presently evaluating the remaining work and coordinating with the contractor and the City to revise the anticipated completion date. After the pipeline work is finished, the City's contractor will complete the final paving of the road. Stay tuned to future updates for a revised schedule on reopening Lyons View Pike to through traffic.

Lyons View Pike Project Update

July 12, 2013 UPDATE - Work on the far western end of Zone 3 is wrapping up as existing gas services are being tied over to the new gas main. Installation of the new water main within Zone 4 continues. Once the disinfection and flushing process is complete on the new water main, the contractor will begin tying water services over to the new water main. Customers will be notified in advance of the brief interruption of water service as the individual services are transferred to the new main. As soon as all water main replacement work in Zone 4 is complete, Blalock will begin work to replace the existing sewer and gas lines within Zone 4.

Note: The contractor will not be working this Saturday & Sunday, July 13-14. The disinfection process on the recently installed water line in Zone 4 is underway and will not be ready for confirmatory sample collection and testing until Monday morning, July 15. Work on other utilities in the area can't be started until the new water line is in service, and the old water line is removed, to make room for the other new utilities.

Reminder: Access to all Cherokee Country Club (CCC) facilities is only available from Kingston Pike. Access to CCC from Northshore Drive will not be available until the project is completed.
