About
This project is building a pedestrian overpass over SR 52 next to the Suncoast Parkway (SR 589) as part of the Suncoast Trail in Pasco County.
A portion of the existing Suncoast Trail will be reconstructed to connect the trail to the pedestrian overpass at SR 52. A street-level crossing will remain available for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross SR 52. Short-duration pedestrian detours are planned when work overhead is in progress. The trail is expected to remain open to users throughout construction.
Construction is underway as of January 5, 2026.

Closures
-
SR 52 westbound left lane from east of SR 589 (Suncoast Parkway) to west of SR 589
Lane closed around-the-clock until further notice
SR 52 eastbound left turn lane onto northbound SR 589 (Suncoast Parkway)
Partial lane closure (west end) around-the-clock until further notice. -
Truck detour route for eastbound SR 52 onto southbound SR 589 continues
Tractor-trailer drivers wanting to enter southbound SR 589 (Suncoast Parkway) from eastbound SR 52 are being detoured (began June 4, 2026) due to a closure of the right turn lane to the entrance ramp.
Non-truck vehicles are able to make the turn to the entrance ramp from the eastbound right thru lane, but large vehicles are not advised to try the tight turn and should take the signed detour route. This around-the-clock closure/detour is expected to be in place into approximately early August 2026.
DETOUR ROUTE: Large vehicles are directed to go south on Moon Lake Road, then east on Ridge Road and use the entrance ramp from Ridge Road onto southbound SR 589.
