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.

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.
