Site work and paving for a road / highway in Largo, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project optimizes the City's lifecycle investment in its $217 million, 134-mile network of asphalt roads by applying the most cost-effective and life-prolonging treatments based on pavement age and condition.A pavement deterioration curve is flat for the first 7-10 years from new pavement. The most cost-effective ($8/SY) treatment is applied during this interval. Treatments that extend road life can also be cost-effectively ($29/SY for mill & resurface, compared to reconstruction at $125/SY) applied to pavement in the 10-20 year interval, subject to pavement condition. The US Army Corps of Engineers' PAVER program, which applies these principles, was used to create a 10 year Work Plan that optimizes the City's investment in its pavement network. FY 2027 is the first year of the Work Plan and includes 3.9 miles of roadway improvements (2.8 miles of local and 1.1 miles of arterial/collector) in southwest Largo, from Wilcox Road to 8th Avenue SW and from Trotter Road to Clearwater Harbor. The Work Plan includes the Mill Pond subdivision south of Wilcox Road, but does not include Gladys St, nor the Pocahontas pavement group. Treatments include 1.9 miles of mill and resurface, 1.9 miles of full-depth reclamation, 0.1-mile reconstruction, and sidewalk ADA improvements at intersections. The project is included in the City's 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of April 18,2026, further details have not yet been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly.
