Gateway Expressway is a fantastic idea and a needed, limited-access, non-stop, interstate-quality access to Interstate 275 in Pinellas County, Florida. Gateway Expressway will put Pinellas County's PIE (airport west) on an interstate quality access that will match Hillborough County's TIA (airport east) interstate access. Gateway Expressway will make direct, non-stop access to Interstate 275 directly available from McMullen-Booth Road, Drew Street, and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard in Clearwater, and also East Bay Drive/Roosevelt, Brian Dairy Road, and US 19 in Largo, Florida. This addition will relieve some of the traffic volume that previously had to go further south on US 19 to Gandy Blvd.
Just more tolls and tolls! Construction projects in Florida take forever. Just to widen SR 54 from two to four lanes in Pasco County west of Zephyrhills will have taken six years!
I don't understand the current construction happening on the 275 northbound flyover at Roosevelt heading west over the interstate. It's all torn up and new pilings are going up, but this doesn't seem to indicate any changes to that flyover?
I went 118th Ave off of 43rd St to TPA. Surprised when it went left and was merging into the FAST Lane of 275. I don't recall ever merging 'right' onto the Fast Lane that has been your Speeders. I did not see any Yield and was pouring down rain 9/10/22. I felt lucky I did not merge into that fast lane as the car I did not see was passing by me. I was confused as to how I was to merge into a fast lane off 118th Ave to 275N. In future will access 275N from Gandy so I can avoid what I feel accident prone.
It's incredible how much you are able to ignore that mass transit is the real solution, but it is Florida we are talking about, a place so stuck in the 60's and 70's that it isn't even safe for our children to walk or bike home.
Is there no direct access from US19 S to W bound Bryan Dairy Rd? Your graphic shows access via the frontage road but the last place you can access that frontage Rd from 19S is Ulmerton. Is there an exit for Bryan Dairy like there is currently or no?
So it looks like you're not going to have an exit to 118th Avenue that turns into Bryan Dairy headed west to the beaches. Is that correct? If so that is just absolute Insanity absolute insanity. If anybody knows any differently please let me know
There is an exit to 118th Ave, or will be one at any rate. When you get off the interstate onto the (westbound) Gateway Expressway, the first "exit" heads towards Ulmerton/Roosevelt Blvd portion, and the second "exit" merges onto 118th Ave just east of US 19.
@@JeffGoldblumsChest I see that thus my question and that stinks. Another frontage road poorly designed to have traffic backed up. I may not have been clear but that is not going to be good with all of the beach traffic and people going home. STUPID
I guess you have not heard of the Brightline that's 75 % constructed. It runs from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale to West Palm Beach then over to Orlando as that's all pretty much completed and up and running and the next leg will be from Orlando to Tampa.
Genius will stand the test of time will be usefull for 50 years until they will need to double deck to put more GDP down the road. Truly the veins of the state
@@GunSniper3 Yep, they promised if they were able to privatize Fort DeSoto, our taxes would go down. Of course that never happened. Now, they're trying to privatize our roadways with the same promise. Elected leaders who are approving these changes need to be removed immediately...
Express lanes are a scam. If an area needs extra lanes due to heavy volume and the lanes are built with taxpayer money, why is the taxpayer charged again to use them?
It's cute how they make it look like that area has trees.

Seems like Mass Transit would solve a lot of this
Not really.
Seems like they are just charging a toll to use exits

This is a band aid on a deep gushing wound.
too bad we can't do anything like... say... have some regional rail lines... oh wait...
@Roman rat we actually need local rail more than regional
Well demonstrated video, thank you!

Badass
These roads are built with tax dollars but have tolls? I’ve never understood how they get away with this..
They cost money to maintain and the roads are actually built with loans
I wonder how long is project is going to take?
They estimate it will be done by late 2022.
I guess trains don't exist in Florida

@@scottdixon469 Brightline is a joke and worthless for commuters in Tampa Bay.
@@scottdixon469 yeah. Stupid that a private company has to do that bullshit.
Wow!
Which programs do you use ?

Still no additional general use capacity on I-275. They want to force drivers to use the so-called express lanes to make as much $$$$ as possible.
What a mess. They're trying to privatize all of our major roads...
But they’ll still raise your taxes!!

Go around, the Bridges in Florida dint stand up to Hurricanes in these bay areas.
Better roads for the rich $$$$$
