Hillsborough County, Fla. (Sept. 9, 2025) - Many of Hillsborough County's busiest roads and intersections are inside Tampa city limits. To improve safety at those intersections, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) transferred $13 million to the City of Tampa for design and construction improvements at more than a dozen intersections.
The projects range from redesigning intersections to signal improvement projects. The money was transferred at the end of August. The funding for these projects was collected from Countywide Ad Valorem Taxes to support intersection improvement projects on County-owned roads located within the city limits.
Three of the intersections will undergo design and construction for safety improvements. The other 10 are designated for design and construction for pole replacement and Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades that will make intersections safer for all users.
A full list of the intersections is as follows:
