Motorists expected to encounter delays on Blanton Road

March 8, 2022 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

A resurfacing project on Blanton Road, between Parrish Grove Road to 21st Street, was set to begin on March 7 and is expected to conclude in 21 days, according to a Pasco County news release.

The county shared the information to alert motorists to be aware of the resurfacing project, which will result in single-lane closures and minor delays on the road.

The work involves resurfacing the existing road and adding new pavement markings, with the goal of creating better roadway conditions, according to the release.

Work hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, throughout the duration of the project, the news release says.

Motorists should expect to see message boards to direct traffic.

Asphalt Paving Systems Inc., is the contractor for this Pasco County public works project.

Zephyrhills approves street resurfacings

November 9, 2021 By Kevin Weiss

Two dozen streets throughout the City of Zephyrhills are set to be improved this year.

The Zephyrhills City Council on Oct. 25 unanimously approved a construction agreement with Zephyrhills-based Asphalt Paving Systems Inc., to resurface a total of 24 streets within the city limits.

Total cost of the work is not to exceed $598,572, slightly under the city’s budgeted amount of $600,000 for the project.

The streets will be repaired with either cape seal or double-micro surfacing, according to Zephyrhills City Manager Billy Poe.

The agreement — part of a piggyback bid with Lee County in southwest Florida — calls for work to be fully completed within 45 calendar days of the notice of commencement.

The action came following a staff recommendation from the city manager and Public Works Director Shane LeBlanc.

The Zephyrhills streets to be resurfaced include:

  • 14th Avenue — First Street to DE West
