Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise is planning a new tolled, limited-access highway linking Polk County to Osceola County to relieve congestion on U.S. 27. A number of cities in east Polk County are in the project area, including Lake Wales, Davenport, Haines City, Lake Hamilton, and Dundee.
Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise has officially selected the final route for the new highway. The decision follows a review period where the location was narrowed to two potential alignments (Routes E and F). If you believe the selected route will impact your property, please give us a call immediately.
The selected alignment, Route F, follows a path similar to Kokomo Road before diverging to connect with U.S. 27 north of Waverly Road. This route ends further north than the previously considered Route E alternative. The selection of Route F solidifies the link between northeast and southeast Polk County.
Upcoming Informational Seminar
We are hosting a seminar to discuss the final project selection and its implications for property owners.
