Construction on the South Hillsborough Pipeline is moving forward and will begin on Boyette Road in early June. Work will start at McMullen Road and will proceed eastward to Deepbrook Drive.

During this time, crews will be installing a portion of the pipeline by open-trench construction in the westbound lanes of Boyette Road. The westbound lanes of Boyette Road will be closed from McMullen Road to Bell Shoals Road, and one lane of traffic in each direction will be open in the eastbound lanes. Traffic along Boyette Road will remain open at all times, but residents should expect delays.

More details on the upcoming work will be shared via email, and we encourage residents to sign up for email alerts at SouthHillsboroughPipeline.com/contact. Tampa Bay Water will also post information on Nextdoor, Facebook and the project website: SouthHillsboroughPipeline.com. To learn more about open-trench construction, click here.

Tampa Bay Water’s contractor has scheduled this open-trench construction work for the summer to minimize school-related traffic impacts. However, pipeline installation in this area stretches about 5 miles from McMullen Road to east of Fishhawk Ridge Road, so construction will continue for approximately 12-16 months after it begins You can expect to see these activities in the coming months (not necessarily in this order):

• Tunnel underneath Little Fishhawk Creek
• A tunnel under Bell Creek and Bell Shoals Road from the Myron and Helen Gibbons Nature Preserve to just east of Bell Shoals Road
• Open-trench construction along Fishhawk Boulevard
• A tunnel under Fishhawk Boulevard

Beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, May 4, 2026, McMullen Road will be closed between McMullen Loop and Donneymoor Drive for South Hillsborough Pipeline construction. During this time, McMullen Road will remain open to local traffic only from Donneymoor Drive to Boyette Road.   

Work on McMullen Road is expected to last approximately two months and traffic patterns will change as work progresses south. During the first phase of work, traffic at Donneymoor Drive and Boyette Farms Drive can turn only south onto McMullen Road. Citgo and Pars Food Mart will be accessible via McMullen Loop. CVS, Washed Up, Christian Brothers Automotive, and 7-Eleven will be accessible via Boyette Road. 

Through-traffic will be detoured using McMullen Loop, Balm Riverview Road and Boyette Road. See map below or click here for detour information.  

Motorists should expect delays. Please use caution when driving, biking or walking in the area. Crews will work Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

On Mar 24, The Southwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board voted to declare a Modified Phase 3 “Extreme” Water Shortage due to dry conditions across the region, which requires all residents in Hillsborough County, including those on private wells, to follow one-day-per-week watering restrictions, with reduced watering hours.
