Noteworthy sites along or near SR 580 include Countryside Mall, 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. SR 580 crosses Safety Harbor - the northwestern tip of Old Tampa Bay − at the SR 580 Bridge between Oldsmar and Safety Harbor.[2]
