The Lee Board of County Commissioners continued its commitment Tuesday to countywide infrastructure by awarding a $1 million contract to pave 13.7 lane miles on currently unpaved roads throughout Lehigh Acres.
Contractor Pavement Maintenance LLC is expected to begin work in October to pave 57 road segments in the area. Some segments to be paved are a few hundred feet long and other segments to be paved are more than 1,000 feet long.
Lee County Department of Transportation maintains about 1,500 miles of paved roads in Lehigh Acres. Contracts are typically approved throughout the fiscal year.
Each year, certain unpaved roads in Lehigh Acres are ranked and selected for paving based on factors such as road conditions and the number of new homes constructed on the road.
