State Road 579 / County Road 582A - Fletcher Avenue

Florida State Road 579Hillsborough County Road 582A

A half mile portion of Fletcher Avenue between U.S. 41 Business (Florida Avenue) and U.S. 41 (Nebraska Avenue) north of Tampa is state maintained and signed as Florida State Road 579. This section of Fletcher Avenue includes a diamond interchange with Interstate 275.

Fletcher Avenue east of Nebraska Avenue (U.S. 41) is Hillsborough County Road 582A. West from U.S. 41 Business to Dale Mabry Highway (SR 597), Fletcher Avenue is mostly an undesignated arterial, with the exception of a 0.51 mile segment attributed to CR 582A between N Armenia Avenue and Rome Avenue.

Though poorly signed, CR 582A lines Fletcher Avenue 6.02 miles east from U.S. 41 to the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, Lettuce Lake Park and Interstate 75. There unsigned CR 582A ends and CR 579 begins. CR 579 follows Morris Bridge Road north 9.92 miles into Pasco County. It is unclear if SR 579 and CR 579 were ever connected.

A $1.2 million project repaved State Road 579 (Fletcher Avenue) from August 2019 to early 2020. The work added a raised median from east of I-275 to Summit Avenue and included sign replacements.1
