PASCO COUNTY, Fla. – Drivers traveling near Interstate 75 in Pasco County should prepare for overnight detours starting Thursday evening, July 30.
Road crews are scheduled to shut down the median on State Road 52, just east of I-75, between 8:00 p.m. Thursday and 5:30 a.m. Friday, July 31, weather permitting. The temporary closure will block two key turns connecting SR 52 and northbound I-75.
During the work window, drivers exiting northbound I-75 at Exit 285 will not be allowed to turn west onto SR 52. Additionally, eastbound traffic on SR 52 will be unable to make a left turn onto the northbound I-75 entrance ramp.
Detours will redirect traffic through a nearby intersection.
Drivers exiting northbound I-75 who want to go west on SR 52 will need to turn right onto eastbound SR 52 instead, make a U-turn at the traffic light at Tradeway Boulevard/Pasco Road, and continue west.
Eastbound drivers on SR 52 looking to enter northbound I-75 will be instructed to drive past the entrance ramp, make a U-turn at the Tradeway Boulevard/Pasco Road signal, and enter the northbound I-75 ramp from westbound SR 52.
