About
This project is widening and realigning SR 52 from Uradco Place to Fort King Road in eastern Pasco County.
- Between Uradco Place and Bayou Branch Canal the existing road will be widened to a four lane divided roadway.
- East of Bayou Branch Canal, the new alignment of four-lane divided SR 52 has been built south of the former SR 52 (now CR 52) tying into Clinton Avenue.
- Clinton Avenue between CR 579 and Fort King Road has been widened to a four-lane divided road.
Clinton Avenue between Pasadena Avenue and US 301 is now part of the new SR 52.
The section of the former SR 52 between Bayou Branch Canal (west of Mirada Blvd.) and US 301 is now designated CR 52.
