Subject:	The Polk County Roads & Drainage Division is hosting a Public Information Meeting to present alternate roadway alignments and design concepts for the proposed widening of County Road (CR) 557 from north of the CSX railroad near US 17/92 in Lake Alfred to south of the Interstate 4 (I-4) interchange, a distance of about 6 miles.

After opening remarks and a brief project presentation, attendees can view related exhibits and ask questions of project staff. A continuous-loop project video can also be watched during the remainder of the meeting.
