Kokomo Road and Detour Road in Lake Hamilton Closing for 21 Days

Published: October 25, 2024

Bartow, Fla. (Oct. 25, 2024) — Starting Monday, Oct. 28, road widening and paving for a new subdivision will close both Kokomo Road (County Road 546E) and Detour Road in Lake Hamilton for 21 days. Kokomo Road will be closed at the intersection with Detour Road and easterly for about a third of a mile, while Detour Road will close from Kokomo Road south to Water Tank Road.

Depending on the direction of travel, Kokomo Road traffic will detour along Hughes Road to Scenic Highway 17 or the other way around. Eastbound traffic on Kokomo Road west of Detour Road can still turn left onto northbound Detour Road to bypass closure. Detour Road traffic can use a combination of Water Tank Road and Bice Grove Road to avoid work zone.

Minor peak-hour traffic delays are expected. Commuters are advised to add extra time to trips in this area. For more details, contact Bill Skelton with the Polk County Roads & Drainage Division at (836) 535-2200.
