Project Overview & Phases
Project Overview
The Georgia Street Reconstruction Project expands Georgia Street from Hollywood Road to Burk Lane, approximately 1.5 miles.
The project includes:
Pavement widening
Drainage improvements
Utility relocations
Construction began in May 2025 and is scheduled for completion in November 2028.
The project is designed to increase roadway capacity and improve drainage along the corridor as development continues in the area.
Current Traffic Impacts
Full Closure: SL 335 to Daytona Avenue
Beginning Thursday, Feb. 19, Georgia Street is fully closed from SL 335 to just south of Daytona Avenue, including access to the intersection of Tampa Bay and Georgia Street.
The closure is required to allow crews to safely set up and complete concrete paving operations. This phase requires large equipment operating continuously to ensure a durable roadway surface.
Completing this work during a full closure allows crews to perform the paving operation efficiently and reduce future disruptions.
Detour Information
Local southbound traffic will continue to have access to:
Nashville Avenue
Bismarck Avenue
Daytona Avenue
Limited access to Augustus Drive
Southbound through traffic detours at Farmers Avenue to Western Street, then to SL 335 and back to Georgia Street.
Northbound traffic detours at SL 335 to Western Street, then to Farmers Avenue and back to Georgia Street.
Detour signage is posted in advance.
The current traffic pattern is expected to remain in place through May 31, 2026.
What to Expect
Construction will occur in multiple phases through November 2028. Traffic patterns may change as work progresses.
Motorists are encouraged to follow posted signage and use caution when traveling near active work zones.
