Projects will close 2 Lakeland roads for a month. Shorter closures in Davenport, Ft. Meade
Several heavy-construction projects will close portions of four roads in Davenport, Fort Meade and Lakeland starting early next week, according to the Polk County Roads and Drainage Division.
Two of the road closures will be in Lakeland and will last about a month.
On Monday, road demolition and reconstruction related to a new 7-11 gas and convenience store will close a short part of North Chestnut Road just south of Memorial Boulevard in Lakeland. Traffic will be unable to turn from Memorial Boulevard onto North Chestnut Road, and depending on direction of travel, motorists will be briefly detoured onto West Parker Street or North Wabash Avenue. This closure is expected to take about four weeks.

On Tuesday, a county drainage-improvement project will close a portion of Tillery Road from Clubhouse Road to Valley High Drive, shutting off a common quick access route to and from Clubhouse Road for a large portion of neighborhoods to the south. Traffic will detour along Peterson and Harrels Nursry Road. Construction, which involves deep excavations to install pipes and other structures, is expected to take about a month.
Davenport and Fort Meade
A daylong road resurfacing project needed to finish an underground sewer installation will close Jacks Road in Davenport from Ambersweet Way to Wellesley Drive near the Barry Town Center on Monday. Traffic will be diverted onto Charo Parkway or Barry Boulevard. Jacks Road is scheduled to reopen Monday evening.
Also starting Monday, a county project to repair three culvert pipes requires a five-day closure of Mount Pisgah Road north of Roberts Road in unincorporated Fort Meade near Mosaic’s South Fort Meade Phosphate Mine. Because of the rural nature of the roads, the detour could be lengthy for some commuters. Traffic will be detoured along U.S. 17 or U.S 98.
