City of Knoxville Amherst Road Slope Stabilization Project | City of Knoxville
Last year, the City invested $1.6 million in the Amherst Road Slope Stabilization Project.
The work improved a large portion of the south side of Amherst Road by re-establishing a deteriorated roadway shoulder and supporting slope. The solution involved bringing in better soils, stone and gabion baskets.
Re-establishing the roadway shoulder, rebuilding the supportive roadway slope, and bringing the guardrails up to current standards required the cooperation of residential property owners on one side of the road and the CSX railroad line on the other side.
Working collaboratively with KUB, a major waterline was replaced as part of this complicated project.
The road upgrade makes the highlights list of City accomplishments in 2022!
