Polk Parkway widened from two to four lanes between mileposts 18 and 22
FDOT's project to add lanes along a four-mile stretch of the Polk Parkway is finished, according to state work program records.
The Florida Department of Transportation's Five-Year Work Program included a project to widen the Polk Parkway from two lanes to four between milepost 18 and milepost 22, along with resurfacing work on adjacent segments. The work fell under the "resurfacing, add lanes and reconstruction" category and spanned fiscal years 2023 through 2025.
Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. was the contractor on the associated resurfacing contract, which records list at roughly $9.84 million. That contract was let in January 2020, with work beginning in April 2021 and an estimated completion of October 2024.
State records mark the project's status as "construction complete" and "line item completed," indicating the widening work is finished.
