Hillsborough County, Fla. (Oct. 17, 2024) - Hillsborough County has temporarily closed portions of Morris Bridge Rd. Starting today, Thursday, Oct. 17, the road is closed between State Road 56 and Cross Creek Blvd. for repair. Work on this portion of the road will begin on Monday, Oct. 21, and will reopen when the repair is completed.
Additionally, Morris Bridge Rd. remains closed from Cross Creek Blvd to I-75 due to flooding in the roadway. This portion of the road will remain closed until the water recedes and the roadway is deemed safe to travel.
