Eastbound Skinner Blvd from the Pinellas Trail to east of Highland Ave Closed for Ongoing Construction

Dunedin, FL – Eastbound Skinner Boulevard from the Pinellas Trail to east of Highland Avenue has temporarily closed for approximately four months, weather permitting. Westbound Skinner Boulevard is now open to traffic.

During this temporary road closure, motorists will have to detour around the work zone using Broadway and Main Street.

Advanced warning signs and electronic message boards will assist motorists traveling through the area. Access to businesses and residents are being maintained.

This road closure is necessary for crews to construct the new roundabouts at Douglas Avenue and Highland Avenue as part of the SR 580 (Skinner Boulevard) project in Pinellas County.

This project includes reducing travel lanes, constructing two roundabouts, and adding a multipurpose path connecting to the Pinellas Trail, making it safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. The $9.2 million project is expected to finish early 2026.
