Drew Street westbound lane closure extends to Osceola Avenue in Clearwater
Clearwater says the right westbound lane on Drew Street will extend its closure to Osceola Avenue starting Nov. 9, with several side streets still closed at the corridor.
What drivers need to know
Clearwater says the right westbound lane on Drew Street will extend its closure to Osceola Avenue starting Nov. 9 as crews continue utility work along the corridor. The city says Mariva Avenue North, Hillcrest Drive, North Prescott Avenue, North Lincoln Avenue, North Jefferson Avenue, North Missouri Avenue, North Madison Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue will stay closed at Drew Street, while other intersections remain open.
The lane closure is expected to stay in place for the duration of the work. Clearwater says no additional intersection closures are planned right now, driveway access will be maintained and property owners will be notified in advance if a temporary driveway closure is needed. Drivers should follow posted detours and allow extra time.
Why the work is happening
The city says Public Utilities is making adjustments to drinking water, reclaimed water and sanitary sewer lines ahead of a future Florida Department of Transportation roadway project. Work began June 12, the schedule runs from June 2026 to May 2027, and the city says utility users should not expect service disruptions.
