CSX Railroad Construction to Replace Railway

CLEARWATER - Sections of East Avenue throughout Clearwater will be closed from March 2nd to May 31st to northbound and southbound traffic due to railroad construction. The railroad ties along East Avenue will be replaced. The road and all intersections along the road will be closed as follows:

  • March 2nd to 29th - East Avenue from Drew to Park streets will be closed.
  • April 5th to 30th - East Avenue from Park Street to just north of Court Street will be closed.
  • May 3rd to 31st - East Avenue from Court to Turner streets will be closed.

Northbound and southbound traffic can use Myrtle and Fort Harrison avenues as detours, and detour signs will be posted for eastbound and westbound traffic at East Avenue intersections. Eastbound and westbound traffic will not be able to cross at the following intersections from March 2nd to 29th:

  • Drew Street and East Avenue
  • Grove Street and East Avenue
  • Hendricks Street and East Avenue
  • Laura Street and East Avenue
  • Park Street and East Avenue

Exception: The intersection of Cleveland Street and East Avenue will remain open to traffic, as CSX completed the railroad tie replacement work during the Downtown Cleveland Street Streetscaping project a couple years ago.
