Some roads in downtown Knoxville will close to traffic on the weekends through the end of the year.
It’s part of an ongoing effort by the City of Knoxville to make the downtown area more friendly to pedestrians. The city says it will be closing Market Street between Clinch Avenue and Union Avenue and Union Avenue between Walnut and Gay Street on weekends.
The closures are expected to go from Fridays at 6 p.m. to Sundays at 6 p.m. The only exception being this weekend when road closures will start Saturday.
