About
The interchange and roadway improvement project is modifying the existing six-lane divided highway to a six-lane controlled access roadway with one-way frontage roads in both directions parallel to US 19 from SR 580 (Main Street) to the north of CR 95/CR 39 in Pinellas County.
In addition, new interchanges will be added just north of Boy Scout Road and at SR 586 (Curlew Road) to improve traffic flow along this corridor.
A pedestrian underpass will be added between Evans Road and Republic Drive and a pedestrian bridge over US 19 is being constructed at Northside Drive.
Construction is estimated to finish in 2030.
