  • Drane Field Road Roundabout

    The construction for a new roundabout at the intersection of State Road 572 (Drane Field Road) and Don Emerson Drive is slated to start May 1, 2022.  The single lane roundabout is being constructed to accommodate the traffic demand at this intersection which serves as the primary access to the Lakeland Regional Airport and the Publix Super Markets corporate offices.  The completed project will include drainage, lighting, and landscape improvements within the scope of work.  

    Ryan Lazenby, Civil Engineer Manager for the City of Lakeland said, “The area around the airport continues to grow and we have been discussing this roundabout for some time. The City of Lakeland and our partners at the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) are eager to see the construction of this project move forward to meet the increasing demands of the roadway.  The roundabout will improve traffic operations, roadway safety, and will act as a gateway to the Lakeland Linder International Airport/Publix Super Markets corporate campus.”

    The roundabout project is located on the state highway system (SR 572) and FDOT is funding approximately $2.5 million for the construction through a Joint Participation Agreement with the City of Lakeland. The City of Lakeland is funding approximately $750,000 for design and Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) phases of the project. 

    The project does include a detailed Temporary Traffic Control Plan which will maintain the existing number of lanes on SR 572 (Drane Field Road) throughout the duration of construction. Construction is in anticipated to be completed in April 2023, but the completion date may be adjusted to allow for additional weather-related delays.

  • Lake Hollingsworth Aquatic Plant Harvesting Project

    LAKELAND, FL (May 26, 2023) - The City of Lakeland’s Lakes & Stormwater Division will begin an Aquatic Plant Harvesting project in Lake Hollingsworth to reduce dense vegetation in portions of the lake.  The main objective of this project is to minimize the volume of invasive and nuisance aquatic plant species, promote plant diversity for habitat improvement, open drainage corridors for improved water flow, and enhance water quality through removal of aquatic plants.

    The first phase of the project will have staff focusing on the southern portion of the lake from Patten Heights Street to Crystal Lake Drive. The City has obtained all required permits through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission for removal of specific aquatic plant species and volume. The project involves utilizing the City’s specialized aquatic harvesting machinery and barges to cut and transport the vegetation to shore.  Harvested vegetation will be transported to a permitted facility for composting.  The cost of the project is estimated at $25,000 and is funded through the Stormwater Utility Fund.

    Throughout the project, Lakes and Stormwater staff will be utilizing the City operated parking lot on the south side of the lake, located at the intersection of Lake Hollingsworth Drive and Buckingham Avenue, resulting in the temporary closing of three trailer spaces. The project’s hours of operation will be Monday through Thursday 6:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. During hours of operation, construction equipment can be expected in the area, with equipment and vehicles periodically entering and leaving the site while also crossing the Lake Hollingworth recreation path.  The City will provide traffic control at the recreational pathway for the safety of pathway users throughout the project as needed.

    The Project is scheduled to begin June 5, 2023, and will be ongoing through August 2023.

  • Lake Hollingsworth Stormwater Treatment Retrofit Project

    LAKE HOLLINGSWORTH STORMWATER TREATMENT RETROFIT PROJECT

    LAKELAND, FL (May 18, 2023) - The City of Lakeland will begin construction to retrofit an existing stormwater pollution control device (PCD) located at the intersection of Lake Hollingsworth Drive and Palmola Street using innovative technology to enhance nutrient removal in stormwater discharges to Lake Hollingsworth. The City has obtained all required permits and will utilize funds appropriated for stormwater management and treatment within the Lake Hollingsworth drainage basin. 

    The project involves installing a 40’ x 12’ underground biosorption activated media (BAM) treatment unit that will be connected to the existing baffle box PCD. The baffle box PCD is designed to remove gross pollutants such as sediment, litter, and debris from stormwater flows, while the addition of the BAM unit will remove soluble nutrient pollutants from stormwater prior to discharging into Lake Hollingsworth.  Implementation of this project will enhance the City’s ongoing efforts to reduce pollutant loads in stormwater entering Lake Hollingsworth.  Lake Hollingsworth has a current State Total Maximum Daily Load mandate to reduce nutrient loads entering the lake.  

    The project is scheduled to begin June 6, 2023, and will be completed by Public Works Construction & Maintenance crews within a week from the construction start date.  Construction equipment can be expected in the area Lake Hollingsworth Drive and Palmola Street, with equipment and vehicles periodically entering and leaving the site while also crossing the Lake Hollingworth recreation path.  The City will provide traffic control at the recreational pathway for the safety of residents throughout the construction activities as needed.  The estimated cost to complete this project is $57,000, which is provided through the FY23 Stormwater Utility Capital Improvement Projects Fund.
