Daily Road Closures: Fairview Avenue (between Stone Drive and Allen Drive)

Beginning on Monday, October 14, city crews will be performing daily maintenance activities on the sanitary sewer and stormwater drainage systems along Fairview Avenue between Stone Drive and Allen Drive.  This scheduled work is being planned to coincide with Kingsport City School’s Fall Break in order to minimize traffic impacts in this area.

Beginning at 8:00 am each morning, one-block sections of Fairview Avenue will be closed to thru-traffic in order for our crews to safely perform work in that area.  Two-way traffic will be restored each day by 4:30 pm.  We anticipate all work to be completed by Friday, October 18.  Motorists are encouraged to utilize the marked detour routes until this work is completed.

We urge motorists to use extreme caution while traveling in this area and to obey all Road Closed signs.

If you have any questions, please call (423) 229-9454.
