Public Notice: Three Parks Trail Pedestrian Bridge Closure
Update: (9/10) Project postponed until further notice due to supply chain delays
LAKELAND, FL (September 8, 2021) | Three Parks Trail Pedestrian Bridge will be closed from September 13th through September 20th for maintenance and repairs. The pedestrian bridge in Peterson Park, connecting the southern portion of Three Parks Trail to New Jersey Road.
The bridge was originally built in 2001, and after over 20 years, it is time for the wood bridge to be refurbished. During the closure, all the wooden boards will be replaced, and a weatherproof sealant will be applied. This project was initially scheduled for earlier this summer and was delayed due to lumber shortages. It is a planned maintenance project facilitated through Public Works with support from the Parks and Recreation Department.
