Lake Drive Detour Will Resume

The Lake Drive detour will be re-established for another four weeks.

The detour, which sends southbound Lake Drive traffic down Bartlett Avenue to Hampton Road, was put in place Friday, but will be taken down for the weekend. After the weekend, the detour will go back up permanently for four weeks through May 31.

The $1.2 million water main replacement project is expected to last until June 28. Project plans call for the replacement of two 99-year-old, six-inch water mains with one 12-inch water main.

It is the third and final phase of the Lake Drive water main project, which spanned from Bartlett Street to Woodburn Street last year, and from Woodburn Street to Silver Spring Drive in 2010.
