Clearlake >> In an effort to prevent potential flooding this winter, the city of Clearlake Public Works Department is removing approximately 45-linear feet of existing storm drain that has failed and no longer functions properly.
Work began Tuesday to install a new drain pipe at 14330 Lakeshore Drive. This requires city crews to saw cut and excavate a trench approximately 5-feet wide across the entire roadway and the curb, gutter and sidewalk adjacent to the northeast side of Lakeshore Drive, according to city engineer Bill Clemans. The length of the trench will be approximately 45-feet.
Construction traffic control
Detour barricades will be installed on Lakeshore Drive at Alvita Avenue and Howard Avenue today. Traffic on Lakeshore Drive will be rerouted either onto Alvita Drive northwest of the project site or Howard Avenue southeast of the project site and will continue along Pearl Avenue then back onto Lakeshore Drive on either Alvita or Howard
Avenues. The goal of the detour is as follows:
• To maintain a safe, accident free construction zone at all times.
• To maintain access to local businesses during their hours of operation.
