LAKEPORT, Calif. – A road closure and detour is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19, in Lakeport to allow for road work.

The closure will take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. along a portion of Clear Lake Avenue, High Street and a portion of Lakeshore Boulevard, where resurfacing is taking place.

City officials said the contractor on the project will apply a seal coat to the road surface on Oct. 19, necessitating the closure.

The primary detour around High Street consists of 11^th Street to Brush Street, then to Hartley Street and on to 20^th Street, and back on to Lakeshore Boulevard.

A smaller detour around a portion of Lakeshore Boulevard via Giselman Street to Lange Street also will be in effect.

The date of the closure may change subject to inclement weather. In such a circumstance, city officials said they will try to provide additional notice.

Other construction activities taking place in the area will consist primarily of sweeping and traffic stripe installation. The city said those activities will not require a road closure but will cause minor delays and inconvenience for traffic in the area.

City officials apologized in advance for any inconvenience the project causes the public.
