LAKEPORT, Calif. — In response to the visible uptick in construction along the Lakeport Boulevard corridor, the city of Lakeport’s Public Works and Utilities Department is providing updates on the infrastructure projects currently underway.

The city said these coordinated efforts focus on enhancing the community's infrastructure while minimizing disruption to residents and businesses.

Water and sewer main replacement project

This large-scale project is essential for Lakeport’s water and sewage infrastructure, targeting the replacement of aging water and sewer mains across key locations, including Lakeshore Boulevard, Sayre Street, Jones Street, Tunis Street, Tenth Street, Armstrong Street, Martin Street, Lakeport Boulevard, K Street and Forbes Street.

The updates will enhance water flow and sewage management, setting the groundwork for subsequent paving projects.

After overcoming unforeseen underground conditions, the project is progressing smoothly, with an expected completion by summer 2025.

South Main Street Paving Project

As part of Lakeport’s commitment to maintaining road safety and infrastructure, the South Main Street Paving Project will follow the completion of necessary underground repairs in the South Main Street and Lakeport Blvd area.

Originally scheduled for this year, paving will now begin in spring 2025, aligning with optimal weather conditions for road durability.

This project will provide new asphalt paving, striping, crosswalks, and rectangular rapid flashing beacons for enhanced pedestrian safety.

Lakeport Courthouse project

Since breaking ground in July, the construction of the new Lakeport Courthouse is moving forward.

The 46,000-square-foot facility will feature four courtrooms, secured parking for judicial officers, and 100 surface parking spaces for public use.

Additionally, the courthouse design includes solar power generation capability, underscoring our commitment to sustainability.

This project is managed and funded by the Judicial Council of the State of California, with no city or county funds used, and is expected to be completed by May 2026.

Lakeport Boulevard Improvement Project

In anticipation of future improvements to the Lakeport Blvd corridor, the City is preparing the Lakeport Boulevard Improvement Project.

This initiative will enhance pedestrian and traffic safety with road repaving, continuous sidewalks, and new crosswalks equipped with RRFBs.

Design and planning are underway, with construction slated to begin in fiscal year 2026-2027.
