HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. -- Major road Improvements are planned at the intersection of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard and Richard Silver Way at the entrance to the Veterans Hospital, which also serves as an entrance to the University of South Florida, to improve safety and traffic flow.

More improvements are also planned at Bruce B. Downs and Campus Hills Drive to the south of the Veterans Hospital intersection.
