Public Notice: East Main Street Resurfacing Project
LAKELAND, FL (August 4, 2025) | The City of Lakeland will begin resurfacing East Main Street from West Lake Bonny Drive to North Longfellow Boulevard on Thursday, August 21, 2025. This project is part of the City's ongoing preventative maintenance efforts aimed at preserving road quality and enhancing driver safety.
The resurfacing will include milling approximately 1.5 inches of the existing asphalt and replacing it with new pavement. This approach ensures that road elevations remain consistent, minimizing impacts to driveways and ADA-compliant ramps.
Work will take place during daylight hours, with roads reopened to through traffic at the end of each workday. Motorists should expect minor delays and are encouraged to use alternative routes when available. Traffic will be limited to a single lane, managed by on-site flaggers.
Scheduled Work Dates:
- Milling: August 21–22
- Paving: August 25–26
Note: Dates may shift due to weather or equipment-related delays.
Door-hanger notices will be distributed to all affected residences at least 48 hours before work begins. For questions or additional information, please contact Troy Williams with the City of Lakeland Public Works Department at 863-834-3315.
