Description

BARTOW — A 24-hour road construction project will begin Friday morning in Bartow on Old Kissimmee Road, a Polk County news release said. Old Kissimmee Road will be closed just north of County Road-54 while crews install a sewer service to the new Mater Academy Charter School being built in Davenport-Loughman, county staff said. Traffic will detour along U.S. Highway 17-92 and Labor Camp Road to bypass the work zone. Drivers can still expect minor delays. According to county staff, drivers should remember to drive safely, follow detour signs and add a little extra drive time through this area. Old Kissimmee Road is scheduled to reopen on Saturday, staff said. For more information, call Bill Skelton with the Polk County Roads & Drainage Division at (863) 535-2200.
