Alcoa Hwy: November 28, 2017
Contract CNQ029 Alcoa Highway SR 115 (US 129)
November 28, 2017 Project Update
Crews continue to work on Collector Road #1 at Maloney Road (west). Maloney Rd. detours using Ginn Dr. to access Alcoa Hwy will remain in place until the collector is complete. The contractor is working to try to get the collector complete to the stage where traffic can use it to access Alcoa Hwy. Hopefully weather will allow this to be done before the new year.
Wall #8 construction is ongoing. Many of the smaller retaining walls on the south end of the project are complete. Wall crews will head north to begin work on Wall #9. Wall #9 is located on the west side of Alcoa Hwy between the end of the project and Montlake Dr. In order to do this work, southbound traffic will need to be shifted toward the center of Alcoa Hwy to allow room to work. During this shift, the southbound left turn lane to Woodson Dr. will be removed. Motorist will be allowed right turns from Woodson to NB Alcoa Hwy only. Motorist should prepare to detour using John Sevier Hwy & Maryville Pike. Traffic is expected to remain in this condition thru March 2018.
The Traffic Alert regarding the traffic shift will be shared with the media today.

Comcast Outage Issues and their lack of response
It appears there are ongoing Comcast outages on Timberlake and some surrounding areas. Wendy Warren is working very hard to get Comcast to respond. She would like to get a feel for how many houses are affected in an effort to resolve the problem. If you are having an issue with Comcast service, please call them and open a ticket. They will give you a ticket number to reference the report. If you will, please e-mail her the ticket number and your address at [email protected] She has been working tirelessly to get Comcast to fix the problem however Comcast has refused to recognize that we have an outage and continues to blame customer equipment such as cables and modems to be the problem.
