LAKEPORT – The city of Lakeport's Third Street and City Hall parking lot improvement project is getting under way on Monday.

City Engineer Scott Harter reports that the project limits will be on Third Street, directly east of Main Street to the east side of Park Street, and the parking lot adjacent to City Hall.

FEDCO Construction began mobilizing and performing preparatory work last week, according to Harter.

Construction is expected to last 11 weeks, during which Third Street will remain open with the exception of 12 days for removal and repaving operations.

Harter said all affected businesses – The Ink Spot, On the Waterfront and Park Place restaurant – will remain open during construction. Alternative vehicle access for businesses on the north side of Third Street and the Third Street boat ramp is via Fourth Street and the waterfront parking lot.

Alternate vehicle access to The Ink Spot is via Second Street along the alleyway between Main and Park Streets, according to Harter.

Questions may be directed to Harter at 263-5614, extension 11.
