The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is conducting a Mobility Analysis Study for proposed safety and operational improvements on US 27 from SR 29 (Glades County) to south of SR 60 (Polk County). Building on the findings of the Highlands County Feasibility Study, the US 27 Mobility analysis will identify operational and safety improvements addressing key needs along US 27 such as network resilience, freight movement, and safety of all users. The improvements will take into consideration the community vision and address the competing roadway demand between pedestrians, trucks, and cars.

POSTPONED: PUBLIC VISIONING WORKSHOPS 

The Public Visioning Workshops scheduled for June 3 in Sebring and June 5, 2025, in Lake Wales, have been postponed to a later date. Once rescheduled, the new date will be announced. Additional information will be posted on the website as it becomes available.

FDOT encourages public participation during the Mobility Analysis. If you have questions regarding the project, please contact the FDOT Project Representative.
