Sidewalk and median improvements coming to SR 600 corridor

The Florida Department of Transportation has three projects underway or completed on SR 600 (US 17/92) in central Lakeland. One sidewalk project from south of Hinson Avenue to Johnson Avenue was completed in 2023 with a budget of about $1.1 million. A median modification project between Hinson and McKeown avenues was also marked completed in the state's work program. A third project—a sidewalk on Lee Jackson Highway from Stuart to Baker avenues—shows completion estimated for mid-2025.

These appear to be part of a broader FDOT initiative to improve pedestrian and traffic infrastructure along the US 17/92 corridor that runs through this part of Lakeland.
