The Florida Department of Transportation's contractor, C.W. Roberts Contracting, Inc., is making improvements to SR 39 (Paul Buchman Highway) from north of Knights Griffin Road to the south of Pasco County Line Road in Hillsborough County. 

Construction activities along this six-mile stretch of roadway include removing the old asphalt pavement, resurfacing, and restriping both travel lanes and shoulders, and installing drainage pipes. 

During the first phase of this project, motorists should expect nightly lane closures with flagging operations to occur Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 7a.m. Motorists should anticipate traffic delays and congestion along SR 39 during paving work. 

Access to businesses, residents, and emergency vehicles to be maintained. Advanced warning signs and message boards have been installed to motorists traveling through this area.

The $11.3 million project is expected to finish by fall of 2023.
