Cross Street Paving Operations Scheduled for Thursday, August 20 and Friday, August 21

The City of Lake City has received notice from Monarch Paving that paving operations on Cross Street are planned for this Thursday, August 20, and Friday, August 21.

Work will take place on Cross Street from US Highway 63 to W Lakewood Avenue.

Residents and motorists should expect:

• Traffic restrictions along Cross Street
• Increased construction and trucking activity
• Noise associated with paving operations
• Short-term delays in the work zone
• Temporary access impacts while equipment is working nearby

Paving is typically a moving operation, meaning the contractor will progress along the roadway as asphalt is placed and compacted. Vehicle access is generally maintained; however, residents may experience brief delays when paving equipment is working directly in front of driveways, intersections, or specific portions of the roadway.

Please use caution in the area, follow posted traffic control, and give construction crews and equipment plenty of space.

The City appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation as this street improvement project moves toward completion.

Cross Street Milling Operations Scheduled for Monday, August 10

The City of Lake City has received notice from Monarch Paving that milling operations on Cross Street are scheduled to begin this coming Monday, August 10.

Work will take place on Cross Street from US Highway 63 to W Lakewood Avenue.

Milling is the process of removing the existing top layer of pavement. For this project, approximately 2 inches of existing roadway surface will be removed by a milling machine in preparation for future paving operations.

Residents and motorists should expect:

• Traffic restrictions along Cross Street
• Increased truck traffic in the area
• Construction equipment operating within the roadway
• Noise and dust associated with milling operations
• Short-term delays while work is actively taking place

Milling is typically a moving operation, meaning the contractor will progress along the roadway as the surface material is removed. Access will generally be maintained, but residents may experience temporary delays or short-term access limitations while equipment is working directly in front of driveways or intersections.

Please use caution in the work area, follow posted traffic control, and give construction crews and equipment plenty of space.

The City appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation while this street improvement work is completed.
