Bartow, Fla. (Nov. 4, 2024) — Repeated plan revisions to offsite drainage and roadway widening for a new Davenport subdivision will keep FDC Grove Road closed from Holly Hill Tank Road to Sand Hill Road through December 30. Engineering delays extending construction and closure schedules were compounded by Hurricanes Helene and Milton slowing required utility pole relocations. Traffic continues to be briefly detoured along Holly Hill Tank Road or Sand Hill Road to US Hwy. 27 to bypass work zone. Motorists can expect minor traffic delays, especially during peak-hour drivetimes. Commuters are advised to drive carefully and add time to trips in this area. For more details, call Bill Skelton with the Polk County Roads & Drainage Division at (863) 535-2200.
