We investigate the spectral properties and dynamical features of a time-periodic $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian on a one-dimensional tight-binding lattice. It is shown that a high-frequency modulation can drive the system under a transition between the broken-$\mathcal{PT}$ and the unbroken-$\mathcal{PT}$ phases. The time-periodic modulation in the unbroken-$\mathcal{PT}$ regime results in a significant broadening of the quasienergy spectrum, leading to a hyperballistic transport regime. Also, near the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking the dispersion curve of the lattice band becomes linear, with a strong reduction of quantum wave-packet spreading.
