From Aug. 30-Oct. 29, 2010, the Upper Tampa Bay Trail will be closed from Gardner Road to Manhattan Drive.
The closure is due to installation of a drinking water pipeline and Hillsborough County trail maintenance. For the safety of trail users, access to the closed section will be prohibited; the trail overpass at Citrus Park Drive will be closed.
The trail will remain open south of Gardner Road and north of Manhattan Drive.Residents and businesses can follow the project’s progress and the trail closure on Twitter and at www.tampabaywater.org.
There is also a dedicated construction hotline (813-401-0132).
