A portion of Pleasant Street will be closed beginning this morning in Knoxville. Public Works Director Jeff May says the street will be closed on both sides of Highway 14 for a couple blocks as crews resume work on the West Area Relief Project. Highway 14 itself will remain open during this time, but residents will not be able to turn off onto Pleasant Street or use Pleasant Street to access Highway 14. Detours will be set up to help direct traffic. May says he expects the closure to last for two-to-three months.
