CR 557 is set to be widened between US 17 and I-4
State transportation planners have programmed money to add lanes and rebuild CR 557 along the roughly 5.5-mile stretch from US 17 (SR 92) up to Interstate 4 in Polk County.
CR 557 is lined up for a widening between US 17 (SR 92) and Interstate 4. The Florida Department of Transportation's Five-Year Work Program lists the job as "add lanes and reconstruct," the kind of work that means more travel lanes and a rebuilt roadway rather than a simple repaving.
The project spans roughly 8.9 kilometers (about 5.5 miles) of CR 557 through Polk County. Funding sits in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and the record marks the project's status as "adopted, not begun" — approved and on the books, but not yet started in the field.
Specific lane counts, cost, and a construction start date are not spelled out in the work-program record.
