Clearwater Road Closures

Published on April 17, 2024

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

Utility and Landscape Projects

  • Washington and Madison avenues are currently closed at Fairmont Street, due to sewer repairs. Follow posted detour signs along the route: Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue to Beckett Street to Harbor Drive. The city hopes to complete the work in mid-April.
  • Southbound traffic of Bay Avenue from Druid Road to Jeffords Street will be closed to traffic from April 23 to May 14, 2024, due to clearing and replanting along the media islands. Follow detour signs.
  • Northbound traffic along Gulfview Boulevard in front of 301 S. Gulfview Blvd. will be impacted, due to clearing and replanting of planters in the right of way. Flaggers will be present to direct traffic. Please drive slow along this route to protect our crews.

Road Construction

  • Repairs will be made to the Courtney Campbell Trail between Courtney Campbell Beach and Ben T. Davis Beach over the next several months. During this time, visitors can expect to find various sections of the trail narrowed or closed completely. Work includes asphalt work (including reconstruction and/or repaving), reconstruction and resodding, some guardrail replacements, and replacement of curb/sidewalks damaged by Hurricane Idalia.
  • The stretch of U.S. 19 from Curlew Road south to State Road 580 in Clearwater is undergoing a major renovation by the Florida Department of Transportation. The project includes new interchanges, roadway and safety improvements, a pedestrian underpass between Evans Road and Republic Drive, and a pedestrian bridge over U.S. 19 at Northside Drive. Construction is estimated to finish in 2029.
