Curlew Road (SR-586) is the east-west workhorse of central Palm Harbor. It connects Alternate 19 to US-19 and carries a huge share of daily commuter traffic. During rush hour it can get genuinely nasty. These are the tips I give friends who are new to the area.
It depends on the day, but Nebraska or Alderman can beat Curlew during the absolute peak. Watch local traffic apps and be flexible — a 2-minute detour often saves 15 minutes.
Not especially. The road's traffic thins significantly after 7:00 PM. The main risks become wildlife (deer in the wooded sections near Brooker Creek) and late-night impaired drivers.
Most points on Curlew in Palm Harbor are under 20 minutes from our base. The intersection with US-19 can add a few minutes during rush hour.
