Knoxville area drivers will soon have a new tool to help them avoid large utility-oriented construction projects.
Knoxville Utilities Board is launching a new online map that will highlight construction projects expected to last longer than two weeks.
Projects will be separated by utility type and will be identified by color-coded icons. Map users can click on the color-coded icons for details specific to each project.
You can view the maps at www.kub.org. Click on "maps" and then go to the area marked "Construction Projects Map."
The utility company hopes the map will help customers plan their route so they can avoid back-ups.
Short term utility and and maintenance work will not be posted.
Anyone with questions about ongoing crew work can call KUB at 865-524-2911.
