Project Details
About
A Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) resurfacing project on US 98 from Bartow to Lakeland began in early October 2025. This much needed project includes removing the old asphalt, replacing it with new asphalt, repaving the side street aprons and installing new signal sensors at the signalized intersections. Motorists can expect nighttime/overnight lane closures between 6:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m.
This project goes with another project to install a new traffic signal on US 98 at Lyle Parkway (453810-1). The signal project also includes drainage improvements, widening the turn radius at the northwest and southeast corners, adding a raised concrete pedestrian pad on the northwest corner and adding intersection lighting with high visibility crosswalk striping and pedestrian signals.
