Heads up, Maryville residents and commuters: You might need to plan an alternate route if you're traveling through Mavis Lane today. According to a recent social media post from the City of Maryville Government, Mavis Lane will see its pavement taken over by the City of Maryville Water and Sewer Department for a water main extension project. The closure affects the stretch between Old Knoxville Pike and Compton Drive and is scheduled from 8:30 a.m. until about 3 p.m. today.
Working steadily, the crews intend to capitalize on the daylight hours to accomplish their task. Still, disruptions to the usual ebb and flow of traffic are expected. Residents in the surrounding areas have been given a heads up, but for those who missed the notice, finding themselves confronted with detour signs and roadblocks could lead to a less-than-serene start to their week.
For those seeking further details or needing more information about the work and associated traffic changes, the department can be reached at 865-273-3300. It's a small inconvenience for the residents, which will, in the end, contribute to better municipal services.
