Knoxville street crews will begin repainting street markings today.

Work will begin on Roche between Pleasant and Marion, and proceed towards the square. At times a portion of West Pleasant will be blocked and a detour in place. Knoxville Police Chief Dan Losada urges caution when driving near road construction. This first painting session is expected to last approximately a week and a half but painting may be carried out throughout the summer for other portions of the city.
