New Traffic Pattern Coming to Big Bend Road in Riverview

Riverview, FL – During the early morning hours on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, crews will shift all travel lanes to the north side of Big Bend Road from Simmons Loop and through the intersection of US 301 in Riverview.

The new traffic pattern will accommodate two travel lanes along eastbound and westbound Big Bend Road, allowing construction crews to work safely on the south side of the roadway.

Motorists may want to consider using alternate routes (Gibsonton Drive and Simmons Loop) to avoid congestion and traffic delays. Drivers are reminded to slow down, stay alert, and drive safely through the work zone.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is widening Big Bend Road (CR 672) between Simmons Loop and US 301 to a six-lane divided road and is replacing the existing asphalt pavement with a concrete surface at the intersection of US 301 and Big Bend Road in Hillsborough County.
