Now Open: Eastbound Skinner Boulevard from the Pinellas Trail to east of Highland Avenue

Dunedin, FL- Starting today, eastbound travel lanes on Skinner Boulevard are now open from the Pinellas Trail to east of Highland Avenue in Dunedin. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians should be on alert as two newly constructed roundabouts at Douglas Avenue and Highlands Avenue are now complete.

Motorists should use caution when entering each roundabout and are reminded not to exceed the 25-mph speed limit, always yield to pedestrians in the roadway and watch for bicyclists in the travel lanes.

Advanced warning signs and electronic message boards will assist drivers traveling through the area. Please remain alert to workers and equipment as construction activities continue throughout the project limits.

These new roundabouts are part of a $9.2 million improvement to Skinner Boulevard from Alt US 19 (Boadway) to Bass Boulevard in Dunedin, Pinellas County. This project is expected to finish early 2026.
