Palo Verde paving project starts April 2

Palo Verde paving project starts April 2

Published on March 31, 2026

Paving operations along Palo Verde Avenue from Carson to South Streets begin Thursday, April 2. The work is expected to last approximately four weeks.

Crews will work Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding legal holidays.

Lane closures will occur and motorists may experience delays when driving through the construction area.

During construction:

  • There may be short periods when driveways are temporarily inaccessible. Emergency vehicles and all essential services will have access throughout the project.
  • Trash pickup will continue as usual.
  • Regular street sweeping will pause during paving; contractor Hardy & Harper will sweep the area once a week.
  • Temporary "No Parking" signs will be posted where restrictions apply.
  • Please avoid running water onto the street while crews are working.
  • Please follow all posted "No Parking" signs to help the work move smoothly.

The repaving project uses transportation-dedicated dollars funded by a mixture of sources (Proposition C, Measure R and Measure M exchanged funding), ensuring no impact on the city's general fund.

This approach continues Lakewood's unique pledge to repave 100% of its streets-an achievement already reached once and now sustained through ongoing reinvestment in the community's infrastructure.
