Closure of Riverwalk looms as work at the former Trump Tower Tampa site advances

The construction of the Pendry luxury high-rise is anticipated to necessitate a temporary rerouting of Riverwalk users, although this detour is expected to be significantly shorter than the previous one.

Downtown Tampa’s Riverwalk regulars expressed their discontent when a portion of the popular 2.6-mile recreational trail was closed for the $38 million Tampa Convention Center expansion, redirecting joggers and pedestrians along a bustling city street. The affected section reopened this summer after a year and a half, restoring their uninterrupted waterside path.
