FDOT Minute: Overpass Road Project

On the morning of Wednesday, January 18, the new I-75 interchange at Overpass Road in Pasco County officially opened to traffic.
The project - built in partnership with Pasco County - is located about halfway between the State Road 54 and SR 52 interchanges. The new Exit 282 provides an alternative commuting option to area residents and improves interstate connectivity.
The interchange includes exit and entrance ramps to both directions of I-75 and features a “flyover” ramp for westbound Overpass Road traffic entering southbound I-75.
To accommodate the new interchange, Overpass Road has been widened from two lanes to four lanes between the interstate and Old Pasco Road and six lanes between the interstate and Boyette Road. Blair Drive has been realigned to connect with Old Pasco Road. McKendree Road has been realigned to connect with Boyette Road.
Sidewalks have also been built along Overpass Road. A 10-foot wide sidewalk has been constructed on the north side of Overpass Road (next to the westbound traffic lanes) and a 6-foot wide sidewalk is open on the south side (next to the eastbound traffic lanes).
