POLK COUNTY
Ewell Road from east of Irby Lane to Old Highway 37:
Ewell Road will CLOSE at the Poley Creek bridge, starting Tuesday, May 29, and will remain closed through the end of summer. Motorists should follow the posted detour using Lunn Road, West Pipkin Road and Yates Road to detour around Poley Creek. Trucks will be directed to detour using SR 37 (South Florida Avenue), Shepherd Road and County Line Road.
A temporary signal has been placed at the eastern Lunn Road intersection. The signal will remain on flash mode until the detours are in place, Tuesday, May 29, when it becomes fully operational. Use extreme caution until everyone is used to the new signal and traffic pattern and be prepared to stop.
This project includes replacing the bridge over Poley Creek, adding traffic signals and turn lanes at both Lunn Road intersections, resurfacing and upgrading signal equipment at Old Highway 37, drainage improvements, and milling and resurfacing in various locations. The contractor is SEMA Construction. Expected completion is Early 2019.
