Florida DOT Plans Widespread Lane Closures Across Pasco, Pinellas Counties Oct 19-25

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 7 has announced extensive lane closures and construction activities across multiple counties in Florida for the week of October 19–25, 2025, significantly impacting motorists. In Pasco County, major disruptions are expected on US 19 and SR 54, with both daytime and nighttime lane closures causing traffic delays. Pinellas County will see lane reductions and flagging operations on Interstate 275, Interstate 175, US 19, and ALT US 19, affecting both day and night commuters. Meanwhile, Palm Beach Gardens drivers face a full closure of Steeplechase Drive at the Beeline Highway starting October 20 through November 10, with detours and flaggers in place to manage traffic during ongoing reconstruction. Additionally, St. Johns County has extended the median closure at SR-207 and Brinkhoff Road until October 16 to improve traffic flow, causing continued disruptions for drivers. These coordinated efforts across counties aim to upgrade infrastructure but require drivers to plan alternative routes and expect delays.
