Infrastructure work for West Walnut project continues

Underground infrastructure work is continuing in the West Walnut Street area and will impact the following streets next week:

• West Watauga Avenue – closed between State of Franklin Road and West Walnut Street
• Sevier Street – closed between State of Franklin Road and West Walnut Street
• Ashe Street – closed between Sevier and Buffalo streets

Drivers who cannot avoid these areas should expect delays, use caution in the construction zone, and observe posted speed limits for their safety and the safety of workers.

This work is part of the City of Johnson City’s West Walnut Street Redevelopment Project. Additional information about the proposed redevelopment in this area as well as updates on construction can be found on the City’s website, www.johnsoncitytn.org/westwalnutplan.
