Update on Third Creek Greenway missing bridge
Just in from City of Knoxville:
They are working on getting a crane on site this week, but with this additional rain and flooding, it will likely have to be next week. They will keep us posted.
We forwarded a request to get Sutherland swept since bicyclists are having to detour around the missing bridge. The City will try to get to that soon. Most roads are very grit covered right now from the flood. City public service has been spending most of their time cleaning up parks and picking up flood damaged residential debris. They appreciate the bicycle community's patience while they deal with the tremendous amount of flood damage.
