Expect lane closures and detours for a month or more
Several road closures and detours are expected in the Riverview area as Tampa Bay Water continues to install a 26-mile pipeline that will carry drinking water to southern Hillsborough County.
Boyette Road inside lanes closed between east of Pure Pebble Drive and Wickerwood Drive
The inside eastbound and westbound lanes of Boyette Road will be closed between east of Pure Pebble Drive and Wickerwood Drive for median removal work. During this work, Boyette Road will operate as one lane in each direction. Motorists can turn left onto McMullen Road, but there will be no dedicated left-turn lane or signal.
Medians within the active construction zone will be closed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and motorists may not be able to turn left across the closed median. This work is expected to last 6-10 days and is in preparation for pipeline installation on McMullen Road at Boyette Road.
South Kings Avenue closed from Center Avenue to Bloomingdale Avenue
South Kings Avenue in Brandon will be closed to through traffic between Center Avenue and Bloomingdale Avenue beginning Thursday, March 12. During the closure, Bloomingdale Avenue will not be accessible from South Kings Avenue. Drivers should follow the posted detour route and plan for additional travel time.
South Kings Avenue Construction Phases
Phase 1
Work will take place from just south of Kings Row Plaza to Greenbriar Drive for approximately four weeks.
Phase 2
For about four weeks, crews will shift construction from Bloomingdale Avenue to just south of Kings Row Plaza. During this phase,
Kings Row Plaza will remain accessible from Bloomingdale Avenue.
Resident access will continue to be maintained via the detour.
Detour Information
To reach South Kings Avenue south of Bloomingdale Avenue, motorists should follow the detour using:
John Moore Road to Windy Place to Southview Drive to King Drive to Breezeway Court to Center Avenue.
Drivers traveling north on South Kings Avenue from south of Greenbriar Drive will be detoured at Center Avenue.
A 35 mph speed limit will be in effect throughout the detour route. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians are encouraged to use extra caution in the area. Through-traffic can use John Moore Road or Providence Road for north-south travel to avoid delays.
