OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (October 14, 2026) – The City of Oak Ridge is continuing street paving and milling projects at several locations throughout the city this month, with motorists being advised to watch for temporary lane closures and traffic delays.
According to city officials, paving work is underway on Bethel Valley Road, extending from the entrance of Edgemoor Road to the end of Alvin Weinberg Drive. That portion of the project is expected to be completed this week, weather and work conditions permitting.
