City of Lake Wales – Construction crews plan to enhance the stormwater drainage system and lay new brick pavers on Park Avenue between Wetmore Street to First Street, starting Monday, September 16th through October 15. The intersection of Park Avenue and First Street will be closed for three days, October 16th to October 18th. The street will be closed during this timeframe with ample parking on nearby streets.
The new stormwater system and brick pavers will help strengthen the roadway and reduce standing water after heavy rainfall. We appreciate everyone’s patience as City staff and construction crews implement the enhancements. Note: Park Avenue between First Street and Market Street will be accessible by motorists via Market Street and First Street until a three day road closure, October 16 to October 18.
