I-75 to close in southern Hillsborough for road work

Get ready to detour.

Hillsborough County will close portions of Interstate 75 near Apollo Beach twice this month during overnight hours.

The highway closing, between exits 240 and 246, will let crews pour concrete on a bridge as part of the Paseo al Mar Boulevard construction project.

The northbound lanes will close 11 p.m. Wednesday to 5 a.m. Thursday. Southbound lanes will close 11 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 14, to 5 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 15.

All closures are weather permitting. Motorists will be detoured using Big Bend Road (County Road 672) at exit 246 and U.S. 301, and Sun City Center Boulevard (State Road 674) at exit 240.
