The City of Knoxville has announced that the detour connecting Lincoln and Pleasant Streets through the VA Campus will be closed to through traffic beginning next week. The closure will start next Monday at 6am. The normal Pleasant Street entrance will remain open, but the gate at Young’s Park will be closed to traffic. Those who wish to enter the VA will have to take the detour to the south of Pleasant Street. Assistant City Manager Dylan Feik says that construction remains on schedule and that the intersection should be open next month.
