History

SR 548 began construction in 2002 and opened in 2004. In 2005 it was stalled by budget cuts only for construction to resume in 2006, with a scaled back design that excluded the originally proposed bridge over SR 539 (Kathleen Road) east of the bridge over Lakeland Junction. [2] [3]

Second phase

SR 548 was extended west across SR 563 (Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue) and SR 539 (Kathleen Road) terminating at George Jenkins Boulevard west of downtown. This provides a full eastwest bypass to supplement US 92 (Memorial Boulevard) and SR 400 (Interstate 4). [4]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Lakeland, Polk County.
