HERE WE GO FOLKS!!! Thank you FDOT Southwest Florida for getting these traffic signals in.

New traffic signals are going up at Lyle Parkway in Bartow!

Crews installed the signal pole and mast arms on the east side of U.S. 98 Sunday night, November 8. Tonight, Monday, November 9, crews will install the remaining signals on the west side of U.S. 98.

Several steps still remain, including installing cabinets, pull boxes, wiring and completing underground work before power can be connected.

When will the signals be operational?

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the new traffic signal is expected to be operational in late 2026 or early 2027.

Important reminder for motorists: Until the signals are activated, they will remain bagged. Please continue following the existing traffic control signs:
• Motorists traveling on U.S. 98 do NOT stop.
• Motorists on Lyle Parkway MUST stop at the stop signs and proceed only when it is safe.

Traffic Alert for Tonight: Expect southbound lane closures on U.S. 98 and a closure of Lyle Parkway on the west side while crews install the remaining equipment.

Please use caution, stay alert and be prepared to merge when traveling through the work zone.

Thank you for your patience as this project moves forward!
