South Fifth Street in Knoxville south of Patty Drive will
be opening to traffic on Tuesday, with weather permitting.
Public Works Director Jeff May says the contractor was
finishing backfilling operations and placement of rock on
the south end of the pavement Monday. May says with the
opening of Phase II of the project, South Fifth Street
will be open from Competine Street to the south City
limit. South Fifth will still remain closed, however,
south of the city where it turns into 135th.
