KUB and its contractor, Garney Construction, will begin work in Henley Street starting next week, Monday, February 15.

This work, part of the ongoing Downtown Century II Utilities Upgrade Project, will span between the I-275/I-40 on ramp at the northern end and W. Hill Avenue at the southern end, with an expected completion date of midsummer 2016.   
Work will first begin in the Henley Street/Clinch Avenue intersection, including necessary work between the intersection and the I-275/I-40 on ramp, before moving south.

Work will be done in phases, and will not impact all of Henley Street at one time. The traffic control plan has been coordinated with the Tennessee Department of Transportation and City of Knoxville. Active construction with lane closures will occur overnight between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., Monday through Friday, with prep-work activities and lane closures taking place only when necessary between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

As part of this work, lane closures will be implemented during working hours, with one lane of traffic minimum maintained in each direction at all times.

A full closure will be needed to complete work in the northbound lanes of Henley Street at the Main Street intersection, which is to be scheduled at a later time toward the later end of the Henley Street work. 

KUB will continue to post regular updates throughout the project on its website at www.kub.org, and on the KUB Facebook page at facebook.com/KnoxKUB.
 
Additionally, KUB has set up a blog at http://downtowncentury2project.blogspot.com to keep customers informed about project milestones.

Customers can call 865-558-2330 after normal business hours to leave a message that will be followed-up with a call from a KUB representative by the end of the next business day.
