State Road 54 is located in the Tampa Bay Area, north of Tampa itself, and runs from US 19 in Holiday in the west to US 301 in Zephyrhills, in the east. In between it passes through Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, and Elfers.
SR 54 is a six-lane divided highway from its western terminus at US 19, but narrows down to four lanes from Suncoast Parkway east of Odessa to US 41 in Land O' Lakes. The segment between Trinity Boulevard and Gunn Highway in Odessa was rebuilt and relocated along a former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad right-of-way that ran from Pinellas County where much of the Pinellas Trail exists today into Trilby. There is a gap in the route between the western terminus of State Road 56 and the northern terminus of State Road 581 that is filled by Pasco County Road 54. Currently, that section is being widened and a West Zephyrhills Bypass is being proposed between the intersection with CR 577 and the north end of merger of CR 54 and CR 579, which would be ideal for both a realignment and a revival of the state designation segment between US 301 in Zephyrhills and US 98 in Polk County. As of 2009, all segments east of SR 581 remain a two-lane undivided highway.
