Florida State Road 582

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

State Road 582 is an east-west highway in Hillsborough County, Florida, USA. The current alignment of SR 582 is Fowler Avenue just south of the northern city limit of Tampa and Temple Terrace from Florida Avenue (Business US 41/SR 685) to US 301 (SR 41). It is the primary road to access of University of South Florida (50th Street, the former State Road 582B and now County Road 582B, forms the eastern boundary of the campus; Fletcher Avenue, the former State Road 582A that was once a segment of SR 579, forms the northern boundary).

Motorists overshooting the western terminus of SR 582 travel westward along Country Club Drive 1.4 miles to a T-intersection with Armenia Avenue on the western Tampa city limit, near Carrollwood; travelers overshooting the eastern terminus of SR 582 follow US 301/SR 41 near Clarkwild and toward Thonotosassa, where Hillsborough County Road 582 continues eastward (on Knights-Griffin Road) toward Lakeland.

[edit] Tarpon Springs segment

A segment of the road also exists along Tarpon Avenue between Alternate US 19 (SR 595) and US 19 (SR 55) in Tarpon Springs. This segment was once connected by various county roads in Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties, among them Keystone Road, Tarpon Springs Road, and Lutz-Lake Fern Road.
