Plans to improve the pedestrian connection from the Maryville College campus to downtown Maryville through improved walkability, lighting, and beautification will get underway this June. Assistant Public Services Director, Kevin Stoltenberg explained, “The main goal of the project is to connect the Maryville College campus with the heart of downtown Maryville. The new sidewalks and plaza space will make walking from campus to downtown easier and safer.” Southern Constructors, LLC will be working to replace sidewalks, reconstruct crosswalks, install a new landscaping package, and decorative lighting. Other efforts include underground utilities from Ellis Avenue to High Street. The work will begin the week of June 1. Stoltenberg said, “The project was designed carefully to avoid disruptions to business or access to homes. However, there will be lane closures at various times.” Traffic may be diverted to one lane at times during the project, but there will always be access for local traffic. On-street parking will be limited. Crews will be working Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. as weather permits. Work is expected to continue through November. The project is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to enhance the downtown area and connect businesses, residents, students and visitors to the growing downtown community.

A contractor for Atmos Energy will be installing new gas line connections along a section of Montvale Station Road between Best Street and South Cedar Street beginning Wednesday, May 8, and continuing until Friday, June 21, 2024.
This section of Montvale Station Road will be closed for three 15-minute intervals a day until the work is complete. The three daily short-term closures will be scheduled when school traffic is lightest to minimize disruption. Montvale Station traffic will detour to Karrow St. during the closures. At other times, during construction, drivers should expect to encounter temporary lane shifts on Montvale Station Road inside the work zone. If an alternate route is available and possible, we encourage motorists to consider it or to plan for delays. Please use extreme caution in the area. Workers will be present. Today, Monday, May 6, 2024, a contractor for the City of Maryville began working on replacing the two pedestrian bridges in Bicentennial Park. This work will require trail closures in addition to those already in effect for the streambank repair project currently underway (see the map). The bridge replacement project is expected to last approximately four months.
The parking area next to McCammon Ave. is currently closed. Dog Park and trail users will need to locate alternate parking lots. The City of Maryville Water and Sewer Department will close the southbound lane of Broady Lane from Hill Run Drive to Broadmoor Drive on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.

The City of Maryville is preparing to repair sections of streambank along Pistol Creek and Battle Creek in Bicentennial Park to stabilize erosion and enhance the stream corridor along the greenway trail. Project work will begin the week of April 15th and is expected to continue for up to two months.
Soil and vegetative bioengineering techniques will be used to stabilize existing streambanks including streambank grading, installation of coir fiber matting and stone at the toe of the bank, and native vegetation planting including trees and bare root seedlings. This project also involves shifting a small section of greenway trail away from the streambank. The work will fortify the land surrounding the creeks and help keep sediment out of the creeks, improving the aquatic environment. This will provide stability to the bank and ensure the greenway in this section is open to enjoy for many years to come. D.R. Phillips Contracting will perform the work under the supervision of Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc., the designer, and engineer for this project. This work will require the temporary closure of the parking area located at 320 McCammon Avenue and a section of the greenway trail surrounding the repair area. Trail users will need to utilize alternative parking locations and avoid the construction area. During construction the greenway access from McCammon Avenue across from McGhee Street will remain open except for short intervals to accommodate loading/unloading of equipment and materials for the project. For more information on the streambank stabilization project, contact Stormwater Program Manager, Jana Brown, at (865) 273-3512. Previously, a single stop-sign at the intersection of Sequoyah Avenue and Westfield Drive managed traffic. To address the difficulty of turning left onto Sequoyah from Westfield, it was determined that an all-way stop-controlled intersection is necessary. This change is expected to be in effect on Monday, April 8, 2024. Please exercise caution when travelling through the intersection during the transition.
For more information, contact the Engineering and Public Works Department at 865-273-3500. The City of Maryville Water and Sewer Department will close Court Street from Ellis Avenue to E.
