KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- A hard-to-see pothole is a problem on a road in Northwest Knoxville and a traffic signal in West Knox County isn't working properly.

If you're driving on Amherst Road and you turn onto Piney Grove Church Road, there's a large pothole on the right side of the roadway.

Drivers come over a hill just before the pothole, making it hard to see, especially at night.

The area around the hole also has broken pavement so Street Wise will contact crews to have the hole repaired.

And Street Wise got an email about a red light that's not working correctly. It's on Northshore Drive near the Pellilssippi Parkway at the shopping center with Kroger.

Street Wise will contact crews to get that repaired as well.

If you know of a problem such as a pothole, a low shoulder along a road or a traffic signal, you can contact Street Wise to take a look.

You can fill out our online contact form or call at 637-NEWS and ask for the Street Wise hotline.
