Commuters in the Morris Bridge Road area will need to plan for detours starting Monday, as a section of the road undergoes necessary stormwater drainage repairs. According to Hillsborough County, the closure will affect the stretch between Cory Lake Boulevard and Cedar Cove Drive, necessitating up to two weeks for the completion of the work.
Local access to homes and businesses is promised to not to be impeded, with alternate routes being available from both the north and south ends of the closure. However, the detours for regular through traffic may add significant travel time. The county has suggested utilizing Cross Creek Boulevard and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard as the primary detour options to circumvent the work area and avoid potential backups.
With the potential for increased congestion on the detour routes, drivers might want to consult their go-to navigation apps prior to their commute. Updates regarding the closure and detour routes have been pushed to these apps to assist in guiding drivers smoothly around the affected section of Morris Bridge Road.
For those seeking more details or having concerns regarding the traffic changes, the county’s Public Works Customer Service can be reached at (813) 635-5400, or through email at [email protected]. The updates aim to maintain an open line of communication and minimize the hassle that can come with roadwork of this nature.
