Navigating the Cone Zone
With much construction underway on campus, new and returning visitors will see the following changes:
- With several roads and various areas of campus under construction, guests are strongly encouraged to arrive on campus early.
- “Cone Zone” signs featuring a hard hat-wearing Smokey have been placed around campus, helping motorists and pedestrians locate parking and detour around construction. The latest information on campus construction can be found at conezone.utk.edu.
- All lanes of Neyland Drive approaching campus are open, but much of Cumberland Ave. bordering campus is restricted to only one lane of traffic in each direction.
- Volunteer Blvd. is closed in both directions between Todd Helton Dr. and Pat Head Summitt St. That part of Volunteer is adjacent to Fraternity Park and Tom Black Track.
