To address increasing traffic flow in Pinellas County, Florida, the Gateway Expressway Lanes are set to open on Friday. The $595 million project marks the introduction of the county’s first express lanes, including a toll road connecting Interstate 275, US-19, and the Bayside Bridge. Additionally, the project widens I-275 and adds express lanes in each direction between Gandy Boulevard and 4th Street North. This infrastructure improvement aims to ease commute times and provide faster access to key destinations.
