Route description

edit

State Road 620 is a four-lane divided highway for almost its entire length. From its beginning at Florida State Road 540 the road is signed as a detour for Florida State Road 655 due to truck restrictions on the section of SR 655 along the southern shores of Lake Shipp. The road enters the Winter Haven City Limits at Cooley Road, and is given the name Recker Highway. At the next block, SR 620 is joined by the overlap with Florida State Road 655 at Lake Shipp Drive, but due to the truck restrictions along Lake Shipp Drive no signage for SR 655 exist until after the intersection with Avenue Q.

The divided section of SRs 620 and 655 ends north of Avenue P. Two other intersections north of there are Orangewood Avenue Southwest on the east side and Marshall Drive Southwest on the west side. Florida State Road 620 ends at the intersection with Avenue O, while Florida State Road 655 continues along Recker Highway through Jan Phyl Village and Auburndale.
