Kingston Pike Lane Closures [Effective Immediately] – KUB has closed the two
westbound lanes on a section of Kingston Pike near the Wesley Road intersection for
water main repairs. Westbound traffic will be shifted to the center turn lane, and both
eastbound lanes will remain open while this work is completed. This lane closure is
expected to remain in effect through 6 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Some listed closures may extend beyond the scheduled times depending on the
conditions encountered during excavation and construction. Appropriate traffic control
measures will be in place at each location to assist motorists traveling in these areas.
Due to the ongoing presence of workers and equipment, motorists are advised to use
extreme caution and expect temporary delays in these areas.
KUB is a municipal utility serving Knox and parts of seven adjacent counties and
provides electric, gas, water, and wastewater services to more than 439,000 customers.
