Below are the road and lane closures happening in the city of Clearwater:

Utility Projects

  • The road in front of 3150 San Mateo St. will be closed to traffic beginning Feb. 10, through Feb. 24, due to sewer line repairs. Follow posted detour signs.
  • The southbound thru lane near 400 N. Fort Harrison Ave. will be closed to traffic beginning Feb. 10, through Feb. 24, due to the assessment and repair of sewer lines. Southbound traffic will be directed to the shared left-turn lane using construction barrels. 

Road Construction

  • The northbound thru-lane of Hercules Avenue is closed from 705 S. Hercules Ave. to just north of Turner Street, now through March 5. The traffic shifts to the center turn lane. There is also a pedestrian detour for this job site. Slow down when driving through the lane shift, and be mindful of pedestrians.
  • The westbound inside/median lane of State Road 60 from Island Way to the Clearwater Memorial Causeway Bridge is currently closed through March 10, 2025, weather permitting, so crews can perform drainage improvements. The inside median lane will be closed for the entire project. Additionally, a pedestrian detour will be implemented on the south side of the corridor. This is a project by the Florida Department of Transportation. (This project originally was anticipated to wrap up Dec. 6, 2024, but has now been extended through March 10, 2025.)
  • North- and south-bound median lanes of Island Way, between Skiff Point and Dory Passage, will be closed for approximately eight months. The project started in August 2024 and goes through May 2025. The closure is due to the replacement of an iron cast water main along with other underground utility work. Flaggers will be present at times, so expect some traffic delays.

Pedestrian Trail Impacts

  • The south side of the Courtney Campbell Causeway pedestrian trail closed to pedestrian traffic from Bayshore Boulevard to Dr. Kiran C. Patel Boulevard, through late 2025, weather permitting. This closure is necessary for crews to construct the pedestrian overpass over Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard east of Bayshore Boulevard, connecting the Bayshore Trail and the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail. Construction activities are expected to finish in late 2026.
