Maryville, TN – Drivers in Maryville should prepare for new detours and delays beginning next week as the city enters Phase III of the Carpenters Grade Road project. According to the Maryville City Government, the next construction phase is set to begin the week of November 10, following recent weather delays.
Contractors will pave the multi-use path on Friday, November 7, with Cochran Road paving expected to follow on Monday, November 10, weather permitting. New all-way stop signs will be installed by Wednesday, November 12, when Cochran Road is expected to reopen to traffic mid-day.
When Phase III begins, the intersection of Cochran Road and Raulston Road will temporarily become an all-way stop to handle detoured eastbound traffic from Carpenters Grade Road. This pattern will stay in place for six to eight months, until Phase III is complete.
During construction, northbound Carpenters Grade traffic will detour via Cochran Road, while southbound lanes will remain open. Residents in nearby neighborhoods, including Cross Creek, Oxford Hills, and Knightsbridge, should expect modified access routes.
Officials urge drivers to use extra caution, expect longer travel times, and follow on-site police directions as crews work to improve safety and road capacity.
