Route description

State Road 581 begins at the intersection between the northern terminus of Pasco County Road 581 and State Road 56. State Road 581 takes Bruce B. Downs Boulevard northbound through a rapidly developing area, which is sparsely populated, ending at State Road 54.[1][2]

County Road 581

Hillsborough County Road 581 and Pasco County Road 581, is a 12.5-mile long county road, extending from State Road 580 in Tampa to State Road 56 in Wesley Chapel, where it becomes State Road 581. The road begins at the intersection with State Road 580, at the southwest corner of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, where County Road 581 heads east as 30th Street, with residential areas to the west and Busch Gardens to the east. North of Bougainvillea Avenue, the road passes by a brewing plant and a more commercial area, heading towards State Road 582, where the name changes to Bruce B. Downs Boulevard and forms the western boundary of the University of South Florida. Just north of the shopping centers, CR 581 passes through medical centers on both sides of the road, intersecting CR 582A, then leaving the medical area to residential areas, where the road starts to curve to the northeast, and enters a more sparsely populated area with newer developments. It then has an interchange with I-75, continuing to the northeast and crossing into Pasco County, where it terminates at State Road 56 in Wesley Chapel.[1][2][3]

History

The portion of the road north of State Road 582 was renamed in 1984 from 30th Street by Hillsborough's Board of County Commissioners in honor of Bruce B. Downs, a deputy county administrator for public works.[4]

Future

Portions of the road are currently being widened to eight lanes.[5]
