POLK COUNTY TRAFFIC ADVISORY

A partially overturned semi-truck is causing serious traffic delays at the intersection of Thornhill Road and Winter Lake Road in Winter Haven.

At 1:30 PM on October 18, 2024, a semi-truck carrying a large concrete barrier lost its load while making a right turn. The barrier is currently in the roadway, blocking traffic. The east-bound side of the road is now completely closed to allow a crane to remove the barrier blocking the road.

Drivers are looking at delays of up to 5 hours or more for the road to be clear. We encourage everyone to seek alternate routes at this time, until the blockage can be cleared.
