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

Downtown Construction

Other Downtown Road Closures

  • Osceola Avenue has been reduced to one lane in each direction next to the Ballad hotel construction site. Expect traffic delays throughout the project, and this lane shift will be in place until the end of construction.
  • The former City Hall parking lot (112 S. Osceola Ave.) and the lot at 301 Pierce St. are closed for construction staging for downtown projects. Residents and visitors should use alternative parking at other downtown lots in the surrounding area.

 

Utility Projects

  • Poinsettia Avenue between 401 and 419 will be closed beginning June 18, for approximately eight hours while the city's Public Utilities Department performs utility repairs. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes and expect delays in the area.
  • Beginning Tuesday, June 23, at 6 a.m., customers served by the reclaimed water system east of U.S. 19 between State Road 580 and the Courtney Campbell Causeway may experience reduced reclaimed water pressure due to repair work, which is expected to be completed that evening. The temporary reduction may affect service during scheduled reclaimed watering hours from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and is necessary to improve reclaimed water flow during drought conditions and other periods of high demand.
  • Utility adjustments on Drew Street will begin June 15 to 26, in preparation for a Florida Department of Transportation project scheduled to start later in 2026. A westbound lane reduction will be in place between Corona Avenue and Duncan Avenue near the Keene Road intersection, with temporary closures at Duncan, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars avenues; follow posted detours, use caution and allow extra travel time.
  • The westbound lane of Jeffords Street are currently closed between Myrtle and South Fort Harrison avenues through July 1, due to utility repairs.
  • Lotus Path will be closed near the property number 805 starting June 8, for about four to five weeks, due to a sewer main replacement.
  • Wastewater system improvements will be in progress in the Stewart Boulevard area July 6 to July 7, to strengthen existing sewer pipes and improve reliability during hurricane season. Residents may experience temporary traffic impacts while a bypass system is in place, but all utility services will remain active throughout the project.

  • The Public Utilities Department will be closing Poinsettia Avenue between 401 and 419 on June 18, for the purpose of utility repairs. This closure will last approximately 8 hours.

Right-of-Way Maintenance Projects
