Clearwater Road Closures

Published on August 12, 2025

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

Utility Projects

The roadway in front of 1241 Fruitland Ave. will be closed from Aug. 18 to 25, as crews make repairs to sanitary sewer systems. Detour signs will route traffic around the affected area.
The westbound, outside lane in front of 1960 Gulf to Bay will be closed from Aug. 18 to Sept. 2, as crews make repairs to sanitary sewer systems.
Northbound lanes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue between Court and Cleveland streets are currently closed through Aug. 23, due to potable water utility improvements.

Southbound lanes on N Osceola Avenue will shift to share the northbound N. Osceola Avenue lane just south of Drew Street, beginning Sept. 11, for construction of a new hotel and rental building.
North- and south-bound median lanes of Island Way, between Skiff Point and Dory Passage, will be closed for approximately eight months. The project started in August 2024 and will run through August 23, 2025. The closure is due to the replacement of an iron-cast water main along with other underground utility work. Flaggers will be present at times, so expect some traffic delays.

The south side of the Courtney Campbell Causeway pedestrian trail closed to pedestrian traffic from Bayshore Boulevard to Dr. Kiran C. Patel Boulevard, through late 2025, weather permitting. This closure is necessary for crews to construct the pedestrian overpass over Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard east of Bayshore Boulevard, connecting the Bayshore Trail and the Courtney Campbell Causeway Trail. Construction activities are expected to finish in late 2026.
