Welcome to the Engineering Department website! This page gives an
overview of the three Divisions within the Engineering Department,
with a broad description of each Division's responsibility. The Engineering
Department is part of the Public
Works Department.
The Engineering Department performs all engineering and technical
services for city departments, including design work and contract
administration for streets, bridges, sidewalks, drainage and other
public works projects. The largest of the contract categories is the
city's street paving program, which has repaved more than 600 miles
of the city's streets since 1988.
The Engineering Department provides professional expertise in the
planning and design of improvements to existing roadways and bridges,
working with the Tennessee
Department of Transportation (TDOT) and Knoxville
Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) on short-term
and long-term improvements to the city's transportation system. In
addition, the Engineering Department also reviews plans and plats
in conjunction with the Metropolitan
Planning Commission (MPC) and other city agencies. The Engineering
Department handles traffic signs & signals, stormwater management,
drainage complaints, stormwater quality issues, temporary traffic
control permits, etc. Ward maps and other information are maintained
at the Technical
Services Counter on the 4th floor of the City County Building.
