S.R. 64 from Pear Street to S Barlow Road: Construction project: The State Road 64 improvement project in Hardee County includes milling and resurfacing existing pavement, reconstructing worn sections of roadway, improving drainage systems, replacing and installing guardrails, updating signage and pavement markings, and enhancing driveway turnouts for safer access. Please use caution in the area and watch for workers, traffic signage, detours, and equipment throughout the project.

• Intermittent lane closures will occur daily throughout the project limits as work continues.
• Motorists should expect intermittent daytime lane closures and nightly lane closures in areas where crews will be installing guardrail.
• The posted speed limit remains reduced to 45 mph within the construction zone.
• Motorists should expect changing traffic patterns, potential delays, and should follow posted signs and consider alternate routes when possible.

Estimated project completion is early 2026.
