Waterline work will disrupt traffic on Scarboro
Workers are set to begin construction of a new waterline for the Oak Ridge Water Treatment Plant next month, which will have a significant impact on traffic on Scarboro Road.
Beginning this week, Scarboro Road will be open to northbound traffic only from the intersection with Bethel Valley Road to 701 Scarboro Road heading into the city.
Both southbound lanes will be closed, and there will be no southbound travel on Scarboro Road south of the 701 Scarboro entrance located off Scarboro Road.
This closure is expected to last through mid-November.
From around mid-October through mid-November, one southbound lane between 701 Scarboro Road and Y-12 will be closed but still have two-way traffic.
From late November to mid-January, work will continue from the Y-12 entrance to the connection point at the existing water plant at the top of the hill inside Y-12.
