Public Notice: Collector Streets Paving Projects (Updated)

WHO: Contractors working for the City of Lakeland

WHAT: Milling and paving projects

WHY: Roadway resurfacing part of preventative maintenance schedule

WHEN: Starting February 9, 2026

WHERE: S. Lincoln Ave., Eden Pkwy, and Lake Hollingsworth Dr.

LAKELAND, FL (February 5, 2026) |The City of Lakeland will begin milling and resurfacing several collector streets as part of its roadway preventative maintenance program on Monday, February 9, 2026. The work will involve removing approximately 1.5 inches of existing asphalt (milling) and replacing it with 1.5 inches of new asphalt. This milling process is a standard practice that helps maintain consistent driveway and ADA ramp elevations, preventing the need for adjustments due to changes in pavement height. Below are the start and completion dates for each project. Please note that weather conditions and equipment issues may cause slight delays.

These projects will be carried out during daylight hours. Once work is completed each day, the roads will reopen to through traffic. However, drivers should expect delays throughout the duration of the projects. While the roads will remain open, motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes when possible. Each road will be reduced to one lane, with flaggers directing traffic around the milling and paving equipment convoy. City employees will distribute "Door Hanger" notices prior to work starting on each street.

Below is the list of the streets to be rehabbed and associated dates:

• S. Lincoln Ave. from Ariana St. to Lake Hunter Dr. (February 9 - February 11)
• S. Lincoln Ave. from W. Edgewood Dr. to Henderson Cir. W. (February 10 - February 12)
• Eden Pkwy from W. Edgewood Dr. to Beacon Rd. (February 12 - February 16)
• Lake Hollingsworth Dr. from the roundabout to Palmola St. on the north side of the lake. (Postponed)
  • N. Kettles Ave. - From W. 10th St. to W. Crawford St. (February 13 - February 18)
• E. Parker St. - From N. Florida Ave. to N. Massachusetts Ave. (February 17 - February 20)

Project Postponement Notice

The paving project for Lake Hollingsworth Dr. from the roundabout to Palmola St. on the north side of the lake has been postponed due to an active wastewater project underway on this roadway. This paving work will be rescheduled following the completion of the wastewater project.

The City will provide updated information once new dates are confirmed.
