PASCO COUNTY, Fla. – Pasco County drivers should prepare for an influx of orange cones and flashing signs next week, as the Florida Department of Transportation District 7 rolls out a heavy schedule of lane closures spanning June 7 through June 13. Commuters will face a mix of overnight disruptions and around-the-clock lane restrictions across several major state roads, US highways, and Interstate 75.
For interstate travelers, the Northbound I-75 Exit 285 ramp to State Road 52 will see one of its two lanes closed overnight from Sunday, June 7, through Thursday, June 11. The work runs from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night, though turns will remain available in both directions.
Major daytime disruptions are scheduled for US 41 and State Road 54. At the intersection of US 41 (Land O’ Lakes Boulevard) and Lake Patience Road, crews will close lanes daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday, June 8, through Friday, June 12. Similarly, State Road 54 at Henley Road will experience daytime lane closures during those same hours and dates. Further east on State Road 54, overnight lane closures are scheduled at Altamont Lane from Sunday, June 7, through Thursday, June 11, between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.
State Road 52 travelers will encounter multiple zones of ongoing construction, including several continuous bottlenecks. The westbound left lane of State Road 52 from east of the Suncoast Parkway (State Road 589) to west of it is closed around-the-clock until further notice.
Additionally, the eastbound left turn lane onto northbound Suncoast Parkway faces a continuous, partial closure. On the Suncoast Parkway itself, the southbound exit ramp to State Road 52 will have its right turn lane partially or fully blocked from Monday, June 8, through Saturday, June 13, between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., though drivers can still make turns. Eastbound-only lane closures on State Road 52 from west of I-75 to Tradeway Boulevard and Pasco Road will also take place nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., running Sunday through Thursday.
Several corridors will rely on flagging operations to move traffic through single lanes. On US 98, periodic lane closures and flagging will occur between County Road 54 and Townsend Road from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Similar daytime flagging and shoulder work will impact State Road 39 from Chancey Road to Bay Avenue from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. County Road 54, from west of Flint Drive to US 301 (Gall Boulevard), will also see flagging operations during the day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Nighttime drivers on the US 98 Dade City Bypass will deal with periodic single-lane closures from the 7th Street roundabout area to south of Lock Street. These closures are scheduled from Sunday through Thursday nights, between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Finally, a permanent bottleneck remains on US 301 from Kingsmere Road to Wire Road, where the southbound right lane is shut down around-the-clock until further notice. FDOT has not provided an expected completion date for the continuous closures, and local motorists are advised to seek alternate routes or budget extra travel time next week.
