Overpass Detour
Wesley Chapel, FL -- The section of Overpass Road between Old Pasco Road and Boyette Road is scheduled to close to all traffic beginning Monday morning, February 8, 2021. The road is expected to be closed for approximately one year as the existing bridge over I-75 is removed and a new bridge is constructed. The work is part of the $64 million project to build a new interchange at Overpass Road and I-75.
DETOUR ROUTE: A signed detour will direct traffic around the closed section of Overpass Road using Old Pasco Road, Wesley Chapel Boulevard (CR 54/SR 54), and Vandine Road/Boyette Road.
