The Lake Worth Public Works Department have been busy working on projects throughout the city

The rehab of water and sewer Pueblo Trail is in the final stages! Over the next few months our contractor and city teams will be busy installing new drive approaches, curb, and gutter, followed by a new to (2) inch overlay. At most will also be rehabbing the gas lines before the new street is completed

The City of Fort Worth has partnered with the City of Lake Worth to rehab the low water crossing on Comanche Creek. Culvert improvements are proposed from Comanche Trail between Malaga Drive and Marina Drive to address existing hazards from flood waters overtopping this location. In conjunction with the culvert improvements, the road will be widened and a 10’ sidewalk will be installed on the south side of the roadway. The construction contract awarded to Klutz Construction and is planned to begin in November 2022 and expected to be complete in November 2023.

Approved in the fiscal year budget are improvements to the water line on Apache Trail and sewer line improvements on Edgemere Circle. After completion these roadways will be resurfaced. Reconstruction of Azle Avenue is 60% designed and we hope to start construction in late 2023. This project will include concrete roadways, stormwater infrastructure, sidewalks, lighting, divided medians for safety and upgraded crosswalks for pedestrian and cyclists Finally, we’d like to congratulate Chris Almon for obtaining his Class C water and sewer license and being promoted to Water Tech II. Way to go!
