This work will begin on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, will take approximately two days, and will require reinstating the same eastbound lane closure used during the repair. A few weeks after resurfacing is complete, crews will return and implement the same lane closure for a few hours to install new thermoplastic striping.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Traffic Impacts:<\/strong><br>\u2022 Eastbound lane closures in the 1400 block of George Jenkins Blvd.<br>\u2022 Drivers should expect delays and consider alternate routes.<br>\u2022 Final striping work will require an additional short-term closure at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The City appreciates the public\u2019s patience as we complete this required restoration work to ensure long-term roadway safety and compliance with FDOT standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who:\u00a0City of Lakeland Water UtilitiesWhat:\u00a0Required milling, resurfacing, and future striping following an emergency sewer repairWhen:\u00a0Beginning Tuesday, December 2, 2025 (approx. two days of work; brief follow-up closure in the coming&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"12","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"wpai_generated_summary":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":true,"token":"eyJpbWciOiJodHRwczpcL1wvbGFrZWxhbmRnYXpldHRlLmluZm9cL25ld3NcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjVcLzEyXC9UU05XN0FCNzZWR0ZaQk5ZQTY3MlBGRVZCTS5hdmlmIiwidHh0IjoiUFVCTElDIE5PVElDRTogR0VPUkdFIEpFTktJTlMgQk9VTEVWQVJEIFx1MjAxMyBMQU5FIENMT1NVUkVTIEZPUiBSRVFVSVJFRCBSRVNUT1JBVElPTiBXT1JLIiwidGVtcGxhdGUiOiJoaWdod2F5IiwiZm9udCI6IiIsImJsb2dfaWQiOjE2MzA0MDY2MX0.zvw8WaeGTEHoOv65ubXV86cJsMhGe20n8lV4V0cocAUMQ"},"version":2,"attached_media":[{"id":59551,"url":"http:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/TSNW7AB76VGFZBNYA672PFEVBM.avif","type":"image\/avif"}]},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[12,14],"tags":[12740],"class_list":["post-59550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local","category-news","tag-public-notice-george-jenkins-boulevard-lane-closures-for-required-restoration-work"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59552,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59550\/revisions\/59552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
