UPDATE - KING STREET AND E MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BLVD CLOSED
The previously announced water main break at the intersection of King Street and E ML King Blvd will require an expanded closure. Tennessee American Water discovered the break in the middle of the intersection, which will require the following restrictions:
King Street will be closed between E 10th Street and E MLK Blvd
E ML King Blvd will be closed between Houston Street and Foster Street, all traffic will detour onto Houston Street, E 10th Street, and Douglas Street
These closures are expected to be in place through Saturday unless
otherwise announced.
Broad Street and 12th Street
A water main break in the intersection at Broad Street and 12th Street required the closure of Broad Street northbound between W 13th Street and W 12th Street. All northbound traffic will detour via W 13th to Market Street. Tennessee American Water crews stopped the leak and repairs are underway.
*Woodhill Drive / Shady Circle / Hixson Pike *
A water main break on Woodhill Drive is causing volumes of water to travel down Shady Circle and into all lanes of Hixson Pike. Chattanooga Public Works crews salted Hixson Pike and Shady Circle to prevent the water from freezing. Our crews will be monitoring the area to prevent any freezing overnight. Woodhill Circle is closed to through traffic at 1320 Woodhill Drive while repairs are being made by Tennessee American Water crews. Drivers are asked to use caution on Hixson Pike and Shady Circle until the water leak can be contained. No closures of Hixson Pike or Shady Circle are expected.
502-846 Barton Ave
Multiple water leaks have been detected on Barton Ave northbound between McFarland Ave and Hixson Pike. These small leaks are known to Tennessee American Water and City of Chattanooga Public Works crews. These are suspected to be service lines and not main pipes. Some water will freeze overnight, however Public Works will salt these areas as required. Tennessee American Water will address these leaks shortly, which may require northbound Barton Ave to be shifted into the center turn lane. This
work will take place within the coming days/week. Please use caution in this area.
To report water leaks both in and outside the city right of way, contact Tennessee American Water 24/7 at 1-866-736-6420.
