Selmon Expressway West Extension Opens Today
Yay! Finally, the Selmon Expressway west extension opens up at 12p.m. today!
It’s a 1.9-mile toll lane which provides a straight connection from Brandon to Pinellas County.
It’s great because now you don’t have to wait in Gandy Boulevard traffic anymore when leaving St. Petersburg. You can hop right onto the expressway and skip all those annoying lights.
Construction of the $230 million project began in late 2018.
“This project has been 25 years in the making, and I am thrilled it’s finally ready to open. THEA challenged our design-build team to come up with an innovative and aesthetically pleasing design that would minimize the negative effects of construction on the businesses along the Gandy corridor,” said THEA Executive Director, Joe Waggoner.
