Primary Details
Description
The Lamb Canal has experienced long‑term erosion and embankment deterioration, reducing capacity and increasing the risk of further damage to adjacent properties. This project will rehabilitate the canal by removing accumulated sediment, stabilizing eroded banks, and improving conveyance within the canal and its connecting ditches. Additional upgrades will enhance embankment stability and overall drainage performance throughout the watershed. A future phase may include replacing and upsizing the drainage pipes at W. Bay to Bay Boulevard and S. Manhattan Avenue to alleviate frequent nuisance flooding at that intersection.
The project is currently at a 60% design status. Upon completion, the project will relieve flooding along local and collector roadways thereby improving traffic safety, and water quality draining to Lake Dundee and Tampa Bay, as well as provide for a low-maintenance and resilient drainage system.
