Polk County maintains the bridge and repairs will include embankment armoring to strengthen structure and creek bed from erosion, as well as abutment improvements and other needed work to restore a sound condition. Mt. Pisgah Road will remain closed until repairs are complete and traffic can safely resume. In the meantime, traffic continues to be rerouted to bypass closure along US Highway 17, US Highway 98, West County Line Road, Bereah Road, and Avon Park Cutoff Road. Depending on direction or destination of travel, detour may be lengthy. Daily commuters are encouraged add extra time to trips through this area during closure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two months of emergency repairs\u00a0will start tomorrow morning Wednesday, November 1 on the\u00a0Mount Pisgah Road Bridge over Gishley Creek.
