Palo Verde paving project

Palo Verde paving project

Published on April 14, 2026

Paving operations along Palo Verde Avenue from Carson to South Streets is expected to last until the end of April.

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.

Street sweeping update on Palo Verde Avenue

Regular street sweeping will be paused on:

  • Friday, April 17: Carson Street to South Street
  • Wednesday-Thursday, April 22-23: Del Amo Boulevard to South Street

The contractor will sweep Palo Verde once per week during construction.

Parking during paving

If you are affected by street sweeping restrictions on Palo Verde during these dates:

  • Where to park: Park on any street that intersects Palo Verde Avenue.
  • How far: Parking is allowed up to 500 feet in either direction on those streets.
  • Important: All other parking regulations remain in effect and must be followed.

For questions, contact Public Information at [email protected] or 562-866-9771, ext. 2140.

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.
