• Easton Drive Street Repair - Work Complete February 2025

  In preparation for re-paving this brick street, City crews will have to install concrete ribbon tie-ins on the east and west end of the block of Easton Drive (between Cambridge Avenue and Fairmount Avenue) for the asphalt paving to tie into and the existing brick that will remain in place. The concrete portion of this project is scheduled for the week of February 24, 2025 and is expected to take up to a week to complete. The paving is scheduled for March 10 or 11, 2025 and will be completed in one day. The speed hump will be scheduled within a couple of weeks after paving. During each aspect of this project, traffic control devices will be in place to guide motorists through the work zone, or a detour will be in place when closing this section of roadway is necessary.

  This section of Easton Drive was part of a brick street restoration project five years ago.  The asphalt was removed and restored to the original brick street that existed under the asphalt. During heavy rain events, this section of brick street gets washed out severely and creates a safety issue for motorists. This has happened several times and no remedies have been found to prevent this issue. Once paved, we are also going to install a traffic calming hump on this block to address concerns of speeding.

• East Edgewood Drive Road Closure on March 13, 2025 at 10 pm to March 14, 2025 at 6 am - Work Complete

  LAKELAND, FL (March 10, 2025) - A section of East Edgewood Drive, between South Florida Avenue and Carolina Avenue, will be closed overnight starting at 10 p.m. on March 13, 2025, for repaving preparations. This work is part of the City’s ongoing preventative maintenance program. The road is expected to reopen by 6 a.m. on March 14, 2025.

  The overnight operation will include milling approximately 1.5 inches of the existing asphalt, which will be replaced with a fresh layer of 1.5 inches of new asphalt. Milling is a standard procedure that helps ensure consistent elevations for driveways and ADA ramps, preventing the need for adjustments due to changes in pavement height.

  The closure will occur at night to minimize disruptions to daytime traffic on this busy route. Detour and traffic control signs will be in place to guide motorists. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes if traveling along East Edgewood Drive during the evening of March 13 and into the early morning hours of March 14.  Once the roadway is milled, paving will take place March 17-21, 2025, during daylight hours.  Motorists can expect delays because traffic will be reduced to one lane operations during the paving portion of the project.
