Fort Lauderdale locals, gird your loins for some minor mayhem starting this Thursday. The city's joining forces with FG Construction to give Edgewood's stormwater system a much-needed spa day. According to the City of Fort Lauderdale's announcement, they'll be scoping out and scrubbing down the guts of the neighborhood until early July, aiming to keep those floods at bay.

Workers will be on the scene from dawn till dusk all weekdays. For the residents between SW 4th Avenue and SW 1st Terrace, and those stretched between State Road 84 and SW 34th Street, expect to see these crews hugging the curbs. You might hit an a snag with some limited lane closures, but your driveways are safe. Officials are tossing out a heads-up to mind the signs and not to treat the area like your personal Daytona 500.

For those who call Edgewood home, it’s the standard drill—patience is a virtue. The City of Fort Lauderdale's mouthpiece said it straight: "We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and thank our neighbors for their patience during this project." It’s a brief spell of discomfort, promising smoother sailing when the clouds decide to drop by uninvited.
