WHAT: Emergency sewer repair
WHY: Failing pipes and that need to be replaced
WHEN: Project slated to start April 15
WHERE: Griffin Road at US98
Lakeland Water Utilities has recently learned that a 600 ft. long section of 24” gravity sewer main that runs parallel to Griffin Road needs emergency repairs. The repairs will primarily take place in the right of way adjacent to the eastbound lane of Griffin Road between Pyramid Parkway and US 98.
The City of Lakeland has retained the firm, Kaminga and Roodvoets, Inc. (K&R) to make these emergency repairs. Starting on April 15 K&R will begin prepping the site, setting up the signs and traffic barriers to support the project. The sewer repair is expected to take about eight weeks to complete and crews from K&R will work around the clock, seven days per week to expedite the project. There will be intermittent lane closures that will impact vehicular traffic including a portion of Griffin Road that will be closed for the duration of the project.
While there will be lane and sidewalk closure during this work, all driveway entrances will remain open for businesses within the boundaries of this work.
