New expressway lanes in Clearwater could alleviate traffic congestion

A seven-year-long road project has finally been completed in Pinellas County, offering hope to some drivers in the Tampa Bay Area. The Gateway Expressway toll lanes will be open to drivers later this week. The $600 million project connects US-19 and I-275, and the Bayside Bridge to I-275 with two new tolled roadways. It's all to alleviate traffic congestion.
