Plans to improve the pedestrian connection from the Maryville College campus to downtown Maryville through improved walkability, lighting, and beautification will get underway this June. Assistant Public Services Director, Kevin Stoltenberg explained, “The main goal of the project is to connect the Maryville College campus with the heart of downtown Maryville. The new sidewalks and plaza space will make walking from campus to downtown easier and safer.” Southern Constructors, LLC will be working to replace sidewalks, reconstruct crosswalks, install a new landscaping package, and decorative lighting. Other efforts include underground utilities from Ellis Avenue to High Street. The work will begin the week of June 1. Stoltenberg said, “The project was designed carefully to avoid disruptions to business or access to homes. However, there will be lane closures at various times.” Traffic may be diverted to one lane at times during the project, but there will always be access for local traffic. On-street parking will be limited. Crews will be working Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. as weather permits. Work is expected to continue through November. The project is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to enhance the downtown area and connect businesses, residents, students and visitors to the growing downtown community. For more information on this or other road projects, contact the City of Maryville Engineering Department at 865-273-3500. A contractor for Atmos Energy will be installing new gas line connections along a section of Montvale Station Road between Best Street and South Cedar Street beginning Wednesday, May 8, and continuing until Friday, June 21, 2024.
This section of Montvale Station Road will be closed for three 15-minute intervals a day until the work is complete. The three daily short-term closures will be scheduled when school traffic is lightest to minimize disruption. Montvale Station traffic will detour to Karrow St. during the closures. At other times, during construction, drivers should expect to encounter temporary lane shifts on Montvale Station Road inside the work zone. If an alternate route is available and possible, we encourage motorists to consider it or to plan for delays. Please use extreme caution in the area. Workers will be present. Today, Monday, May 6, 2024, a contractor for the City of Maryville began working on replacing the two pedestrian bridges in Bicentennial Park. This work will require trail closures in addition to those already in effect for the streambank repair project currently underway (see the map). The bridge replacement project is expected to last approximately four months.
The parking area next to McCammon Ave. is currently closed. Dog Park and trail users will need to locate alternate parking lots. |
