About

This design-build project will replace the existing asphalt pavement with a concrete surface at the intersection of US 301 and Big Bend Road (CR 672) in Hillsborough County.

Additionally, travel lanes will be added along Big Bend Road (CR 672) from Simmons Loop to US 301.  

Work requiring lane closures will occur from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. (westbound) and 10 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. (eastbound).   

Access to driveways, sidewalks, and side streets will be maintained.

Please use caution when traveling through the work zone and remain alert for pedestrians and construction workers.

What is design-build? Design-build is a method of project delivery in which one entity - the design-build team - works under a single contract with the FDOT (or any owner) to fully design and construct a project.  The contract work covers from initial design through construction completion.  This contract type typically allows for faster construction of a project as design and construction can be on-going simultaneously.

  • New Traffic Pattern Coming to Big Bend Road in Riverview

    Beginning next week, nighttime crews will restripe travel lanes on Big Bend Road between Simmons Loop and US 301 to accommodate a new traffic pattern in Riverview.

    This phase of the project will temporarily close medians on Big Bend Road to allow construction crews to work safely along the middle and the south side of the roadway through spring 2026. Motorists will have to make U-turns at US 301, Lincoln Road, and Simmons Loop to access driveways and side streets on Big Bend Road.

    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 in Hillsborough County. In addition, this project is replacing the existing asphalt pavement with a concrete surface at the intersection of US 301 and Big Bend Road. Construction activities are expected to finish in late 2027, weather permitting.
