Primary Details
Description
The Lamb Canal has experienced significant erosion over the years and is in need of rehabilitation. Embankment deterioration has reduced the canal’s capacity and increased the risk of further erosion.This project will remove accumulated sediment and stabilize the canal banks in targeted areas to prevent future erosion and help restore capacity. A future phase may include replacing and upsizing the drainage pipes at W. Bay to Bay Boulevard and S. Manhattan Avenue to help alleviate frequent nuisance flooding at the 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.
