A roundabout here will cause major delays and backups. This intersection is a main interchange for accessing Mosaic mine sites and chemical plants, Streamsong resort, Teco power plants, Duke power plants, Atlantic galvanizer, and surrounding towns and cities (Mulberry, Pine dale, Bradley Jct, Homeland, Fort Meade, Chicora, Duette, Ona, Lithia, Fort Lonesome) Both hwy 37 and hwy 640 see large amount of commercial truck traffic. 37 and 640 are both main routes for Trans phos, New Line Transport, Publix, Walmart, City Furniture, Badcock, Port trucks hauling containers to and from Miami and Tampa ports, Rooms to go, fruit, vegetable, and livestock trucks. Loads ranging from 8' wide to 20'+ wide and overall lengths exceed 100'. 2000 lb vehicles up to 200,000+ lb heavy haul rigs. Roundabouts are not suitable for this type of traffic. With growth on the west coast of FL; traffic volumes on 41, 301, I-75, 39 have all increased drastically, traffic continues to push eastward to avoid the congestion and growth on the west coast, therefore increasing traffic on hwy 37 and 640. I have living in Bradley Jct for 27 years, I use the intersection and those surrounding almost daily (555&640, 630&37, 630&555, 674&37, 674&39, 39&62, 62&37). 37&640 and the intersections listed above have proven for years to be effective for traffic flow even at its busiest times. (5:30am-8am & 2:30pm-6pm) This roundabout will just cause road rage and bring problems for your common motorist and for large commercial vehicles.
