A major east-west highway serving northern Pinellas and central Hillsborough County, Florida, State Road 580 is a major commercial and commuter route. The western terminus is an intersection with Broadway Street (Alternate U.S. 19-SR 595 in Dunedin); the current eastern terminus is an intersection with 56th Street (SR 583) next to the campuses of Florida College and Florida Christian College in northeastern Tampa. The historical eastern terminus is an intersection with US 301-SR 43 near Temple Terrace, two miles to the east.
The heavily-traveled SR 580 is locally known by a variety of names. In Pinellas County (Dunedin, Safety Harbor, and Oldsmar) it's Skinner Boulevard, Main Street and Tampa Road. A motorist continuing eastward on SR 580 in Hillsborough County drives on Tampa Road, Hillsborough Avenue (through Town 'n' Country), Dale Mabry Highway (between US 92-SR 600 and SR 597), and Busch Boulevard (which continues past the eastern SR 580 terminus as Temple Terrace Highway).
Noteworthy sites along or near SR 580 include Trinity College, Tampa International Airport, Hillsborough Community College, Raymond James Stadium, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and the two colleges on the State Road's eastern terminus.
