FDOT will hold a public hearing to provide information about proposed widening to US 98 from two to four lanes. The proposed improvements will require acquisition of right-of-way for road widening and stormwater management ponds. Existing access to properties along US 98 will change due to the addition of a median. The no-build alternative, where no improvements other than routine maintenance are made to US 98 through 2036, will remain viable throughout the remainder of this study. The department sent notices to all property owners and interested people located at least 300 feet on either side of US 98 within the project limits. Project information is available for public review from October 4, 2013 to November 12, 2013 at Sebring Public Library, 319 West Center Avenue in Sebring, Florida and FDOT District One Headquarters, 801 North Broadway Avenue, Bartow, Florida.
