During the closure, drivers must detour around the work zone using Lithia Pinecrest Road or Highway 37. This section of C.R. 39 is expected to remain closed for approximately 14 days, weather permitting.
Drivers may experience traffic delays and congestion on all nearby roads as crews build the new concrete travel lanes on C.R. 39, just south of S.R. 60. Eastbound/westbound S.R. 60, along with S.R. 39 to the north of the intersection, will remain open to traffic during this phase of construction.
Message boards and signage will assist drivers traveling through the area. Motorists are reminded to slow down, stay alert, and drive safely through the work zone.
This project is resurfacing SR 60 from SR 39 to Clarence Gordon Jr. Road, replacing the asphalt pavement with concrete at the intersection of SR 39, and modifying the median openings on SR 60 to the east and west of SR 39 in Hillsborough County. Construction activities are expected to be completed by the fall of 2026.
