Multiple Projects on Cedar Lane

Cedar Lane, a staple route of the Fountain City/North Knoxville community, has been under construction for several separate projects.

Rogers Group, Inc., a crew contracted by the City of Knoxville to execute the City’s 2018 Resurfacing Project, recently repaved a 2.75-mile section of Central Avenue Pike between Dante Road and Dutch Valley Drive.

Additionally, the City has hired Whaley Construction to build the 0.4-mile extension of sidewalk between Pratt Road and Haynes-Sterchi Road.

The $300,000 project will link the existing Merchant Drive/Cedar Lane sidewalk system to the Windsor Court Apartments and provide a pedestrian crossing across the Norfolk Southern Railroad.

Speaking of which, Norfolk Southern Railroad is systematically working through railroad improvements at crossings of City streets. This is not a City of Knoxville project, but it will impact the roads in the City and surrounding areas.

As the railroad receives maintenance, street intersections will be closed for 1-3 days. This process will last through the upcoming months, affecting the following intersections:

Inskip Rd/Knoxville
Cedar Ln/Knoxville
Dante Rd/Knoxville
Emory Rd/Powell
Brickyard Rd/Powell
Copeland Dr/Powell
Brushy Valley Rd/Heiskell
Bullrun Valley Rd/Heiskell
Depot Rd/Heiskell
Crisman Rd/Heiskell
Wolf Valley Rd/Clinton
Lee Rd/Clinton
Portwood/ ClintonYarnell Rd/Clinton
