Other Downtown Road Closures
- Osceola Avenue has been reduced to one lane in each direction next to the new Ballad hotel construction site. Expect traffic delays throughout the project, and this lane shift will be in place until the end of construction.
- The former City Hall parking lot (112 S. Osceola Ave.) and the lot at 301 Pierce St. are closed for construction staging for downtown projects. Residents and visitors should use alternative parking at other downtown lots in the surrounding area.
Utility Projects
- The westbound lane of Jeffords St. between S. Myrtle and S. Ft Harrison by Kamminga & Roodvoets will be closed 4/1 - 5/29 for utility repairs.

Road Construction
- The Florida Department of Transportation will be conducting roadway improvements in conjunction with the State Road 60 Courtney Campbell Causeway Pedestrian Overpass project. Expect lane closures 24 hours per day through late 2026.
- The Florida Department of Transportation is working on U.S. 19 in Clearwater between Drew Street and Sunset Point Road. This project will repave U.S. 19, the ramps and the frontage roads. Other improvements include realigning existing U-turn lanes and upgrading sidewalks and lighting. Construction is anticipated to be complete in Summer 2026.
- The south side of the Courtney Campbell Causeway pedestrian trail closed to pedestrian traffic from Bayshore Boulevard to Dr. Kiran C. Patel Boulevard, through 2026, weather permitting. Advanced warning signs will be installed on each side of the pedestrian trail to alert the public of the planned closure. 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. There will be lane closures for eastbound traffic in this same area daily 24 hours per day through late 2026.
