Old Pasco Road to Close Soon

Posted at 12:48 PM, Apr. 4, 2007

Old Pasco Road at the intersection of CR-54 should be closing soon for grading and paving. The construction will raise the road level by approximately three feet. Nelson Construction had asked County Commissioners to approve closing the road starting March 29th; however that date has already passed. However, do not be surprised if you suddenly see a detour.

The road closure will require a detour of traffic onto Oakley Blvd. The road closure is expected to last approximately three to four weeks.

Road Work and Progress Parkway Entrance

According to the road crew doing the construction of Wesley Chapel Blvd the entrance to Progress Parkway should be reopened within one to two weeks.

I'm sure we are all looking forward to that!

The road work to follow will be to install a grass median along with two westbound lanes. Until then the newly paved road will be one lane in each direction. It will be a nice treat when we have four lanes on Wesley Chapel Boulevard.

They state there will also be room left for an additional two lanes to accomodate future growth.

Road widening

Cost of Land, Labor and Materials to slow down some road widening projects

Over the next five years there are a couple of road projects that will impact the area favorably although during the process expect traffic nightmares. Two important improvements will be the widening of SR-54 between Bruce B. Downs Boulevard and Curley Road and the widening of I-75 between SR-56 and CR-54 also now known as Wesley Chapel Boulevard.

Delayed will be the widening of SR-54 between Curley Road and Morris Bridge Road. This project was scheduled for 2011 but is being moved back to 2012.

Thankfully paving has just started in front of Westbrook Estates and hopefully the work will progress quickly.
