Taking advantage of fewer University of Tennessee students on campus due to the winter break, a block of South 17th Street between Cumberland and White avenues will be closed next week to accommodate a contractor installing electrical conduit.
The street and sidewalks will be mostly closed from Monday, Jan. 6, to Sunday, Jan. 12. There will be intermittent openings during morning and afternoon commutes, but then over the Jan. 11-12 weekend, the closure will be in effect around the clock.
ShoffnerKalthoff MES crews will be installing new conduit from an electrical vault to a new restaurant opening in the Cumberland Avenue corridor.
