Crosstown Expressway Now Open!

Great news! The new Crosstown extension is open for westbound traffic into Tampa! A trip that used to take $25 minutes to get from Brandon to downtown Tampa, now takes only 10 minutes! The new raised portion of the highway more than doubles the number of lanes. It is an extra three lanes which are unidirectional (East to West in the morning and West to East in the afternoon). Here is an article regarding the new opening.
