Effective today the City of Knoxville will be closing West Pleasant Street. This closure is required in order to construct necessary infrastructure upgrades and make connections to the new Veterans District development.

The full street closure will be at the intersection of West Pleasant Street and North Park Lane Drive. 

Homeowners living on Desmont Drive will continue to have access to their properties through the East Desmont Drive entrance. One lane road will remain open for homeowners living on West Pleasant Street between Hwy 14 and Park Lane Drive to access their properties.

In order to complete the necessary work, the time frame for the street closure is set for 2-3 weeks, weather permitting.
