4/9/21 Update:
Sherwood Drive has been reopened.
​

Engineering and Public Works have closed Sherwood Drive to through traffic due to a sinkhole that has opened in the road. Barricades have been placed in the area of 524 Sherwood Drive near Goldleaf Street. Traffic can enter on either side of Sherwood but will be stopped at the barricades.  This road damage is not related to the sinkhole on US 411 South. It is due to a storm drain failure from a different storm drain system. 

​More information will be posted as it is available. 

4/17/21 3:45 p.m.
All lanes have been reopened at US 411 near Foothills Mall Drive.

4/16/21 3:40 p.m.
The asphalt temperature is going to require overnight to cool enough for traffic. Our latest information is that the lanes will be reopened around noon tomorrow (Saturday, April 17.) We will continue to provide updates as they are available to us.
​

Update 4/16/21
TDOT crews have been able to make significant progress and are now estimating the road will open by the end of the day. We are happy to report this news and that it now appears traffic will be returned to normal before the weekend.
​

Update 4/15/21
As TDOT crews continue road work repair, it is now apparent that the work will continue into next week. We do not have an exact estimate for the return of all lanes but will continue to post updates as they are made available to us.
​

Update 4/12/21
As work continues on the repair of the US 411 sinkhole, according to the TDOT project manager, the road will remain down to one lane in both directions for the remainder of the week. 

Update 4/7/21 AM

Delays in the area are significant. Expect at least 20 minutes additional time to travel through the area. Be advised - Old Niles Ferry is also receiving a large amount of traffic.

​There is currently only one lane open near the work site in each direction.

Update 4/6/21 - 5 p.m.
​
The traffic control plan is currently allowing for two westbound lanes and one eastbound lane on US 411 South. The Foothills Mall Drive/ Montgomery Lane intersection is operating normally in both directions. All directions are passable, but traffic is congested in the area and motorists are still advised to avoid the area if possible. Work to repair the pipe and the sinkhole is expected to continue possibly through Friday. 

Previously:
​A storm sewer pipe has failed under US 411 South near the Foothills Mall Drive intersection. The failure has created a sink hole on the eastbound side of the road near the Pure Magic Car Wash / Condry Lane. Traffic will be diverted in the area and lanes will be reduced to one eastbound and one westbound. Additional modifications at the intersection will be required and motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible. More information will follow as it is available.

Planned Closure at U.S. 321 / Lamar Alexander Pkwy and W. Broadway Ave
Work will be performed overnight to reduce traffic interruption
​​
Beginning Saturday night at 10 p.m., city of Maryville contractor Stansell Electric will be replacing the traffic signal system at the intersection of U.S. 321 and West Broadway Avenue. This effort will require the closure of the entire intersection for the duration of the project. Engineers expect the intersection to be reopened by 6 a.m. on Sunday morning, March 28.
 
No through traffic will be possible while the work is in progress. Motorists are asked to plan their routes accordingly.
 
The signal replacement at U.S. 321 and West Broadway Avenue is one of the biggest pieces of the Advanced Traffic Management System project that began in June of 2020. The project will connect communications between signals throughout Maryville and Alcoa, allowing for real time adjustments to alleviate traffic issues. The project is expected to be complete by June of 2021 and was fully funded by a federal grant.
