KUB and its contractor will close a short section of Pleasant Ridge Road between Western Avenue and Orangewood Road, nightly from 6:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., starting Monday evening, May 7 and lasting through Wednesday morning, May 9.

Access to and from Western Avenue onto Pleasant Ridge Road will be closed during this period.

All lanes on Pleasant Ridge Road will be reopened to traffic during the day.

Alternate routes include Sanderson Road. This work is part of a larger project to upgrade the sewer system in the area.

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.
