Sevierville commuters, brace yourselves for a slight hiccup in your Thursday drive. The Sevierville Police Department has counseled motorists to expect minor delays on New Era Road due to a scheduled lane closure. The disruption is due to take place on Thursday, as workers will be on the scene from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. installing a new sewer line at 2018 New Era Road, per the department's social media alert.
While the road will not be completely shut down to traffic, the advisory suggests that the area will be trimmed down to one operating lane during these hours. This is expected to result in "short-term delays" for those traveling through the segment, according to the official advisory posted. Travelers are urged to allow for extra transit time or to seek alternative routes if possible.
The Sevierville Police Department has urged the public to exercise caution while driving in this area and watch for workers, equipment, and changing traffic patterns. Ensuring the safety of both the work crews and the driving public is paramount during such operations.
