GIBSONTON, Fla. — The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will be scheduling traffic pacing operations along northbound and southbound  I-75 between Gibsonton Drive and SR 674 (College Blvd./Sun City Center Blvd.) from 10 p.m. Sunday, April 24, to 2 a.m. Monday, April 25, if weather allows.

Law enforcement vehicles will be out slow traffic to 20 mph to create a 20-minute window allowing the setup of construction equipment in the median area of  I-75 and Big Bend Road. At times, traffic entering from Gibsonton Drive, Big Bend Road, and SR 674 on-ramps will not be able to enter I-75 until the front of each pacing operation has passed.

Due to the rapid growth in southern Hillsborough County, FDOT has partnered with the county to develop long-term solutions to help alleviate traffic congestion in the area. According to FDOT, this interchange improvement project is to finish in the summer of 2025.
