See how the Knoxville riverfront is changing near downtown Public and private money is going toward waterfront revitalization on both sides of the Tennessee River near downtown Knoxville. Knoxville's South Waterfront has seen a lot of activity recently, from a proposed $55 million pedestrian bridge to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville spending $9 million on a prime property in the area . On Tuesday, the Knoxville City Council will vote on several development-related items involving the south side of the Tennessee River, including a proposed pause on building there.
