County Road 672 runs across central Hillsborough County along two legs. The western section lines Big Bend Road east from the Manatee Viewing Center and Dickman Road 4.02 miles to U.S. 301. This stretch expands into a suburban arterial between U.S. 41 and U.S. 301, meeting Interstate 75 midway. An $81.7 million project underway from early 2022 to Summer 2025 rebuilds the folded diamond interchange at I-75 with new ramps from CR 672 to the freeway northbound while modifying existing ramps to improve geometry and capacity.
One and a half miles to the south of Big Bend Road, the eastern segment of CR 672 begins from U.S. 301 at Paseo Al Mar Boulevard. Measuring 11.85 miles in length, CR 672 transitions from suburban areas along a rural course east to Balm, Picnic and Hillsborough County Road 39.
