Highways and Roads

Highways and roads are the backbone of Polk County’s transportation network, connecting communities, supporting economic growth, and enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. As Polk County continues to grow, responsible planning and investment in our roadway infrastructure are more important than ever. The Polk Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is dedicated to developing, maintaining, and improving the county’s highways, roads, and corridors to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable travel for everyone.

This page provides an overview of the TPO’s ongoing and upcoming highway and road projects, as well as long-range plans designed to address current and future transportation needs. Here, you’ll find information on major construction efforts, safety improvements, capacity enhancements, and maintenance initiatives throughout Polk County. We also highlight the collaborative planning processes that involve local governments, transportation agencies, and community stakeholders to create a cohesive and forward-thinking transportation system.

Whether you’re a daily commuter, a business owner, or a resident interested in the future of our roadways, this resource will keep you informed about key projects and opportunities for public involvement.
