Lake Charlene Drainage Improvements

**As of May 23, 2022, this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for award has not yet been established.** The project involves roadway and drainage improvements associated with the construction of a major outfall system from the end of the existing Lake Charlene canal at Lake Joanne Drive, east along Lake Joanne Drive to S. 61st Avenue, south along S. 61st Avenue, and crossing US 98 to the southerly FDOT R/W. The drainage system will consist of a segment of double 60" RCP, a segment of single 60" RCP, and a segment of jack & bore 60" pipe over the approximately 2500-foot total project length. The north end of the project will feature a concrete weir structure approximately 53 feet in width. The south end will include the widening of the existing concrete endwall. Work will include the crossing of US 98 with a single 60" jack & bore. Significant dewatering is expected for stormwater system installation. The project will also require the replacement/relocation of the existing traffic signal mast arm located on the south side of US 98 at the intersection with S. 61st Avenue. The Contractor's MOT plan will be subject to Escambia County approval for County roadways and is expected to require the closure of S. 61st Avenue while maintaining local driveway access. The Contractor's MOT plan for US 98 will require FDOT approval.
