TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Crews have begun work on a major repaving project along New Tampa Boulevard, Tampa city officials say.<\/p>\n
Nearly two miles of the road, from Meadow Pine Drive to Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, will be repaved with new asphalt.<\/p>\n
The work is expected to take no more than two months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roughly 12,000 drivers travel across New Tampa Boulevard every day, the city estimates.<\/p>\n

Crews will work at night to minimize traffic interruptions, and finished portions of the roadway are expected to reopen each morning.<\/p>\n
In addition to repaving, the project will bring upgraded pavement markings and new ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramps.<\/p>\n
The $1 million project is part of a wider effort to repave and resurface roadways across Tampa. Since 2019, the city has repaved nearly 340 lane-miles, focusing first on the roadways in the worst condition, officials say.<\/p>\n
“New Tampa wanted the best and New Tampa is gonna get the best with this project for this often traveled Boulevard,” said City Councilman Luis Viera.<\/p>\n
