Traffic

Drivers should be prepared for road closures and heavy traffic — particularly in Ybor City — on Saturday, March 29.

After a decade of planning and four years of construction, the traffic switch will occur early Tuesday, weather permitting, on the $865 million, eight-lane span over Old Tampa Bay.

The Ocala-area project will add extra lanes to a stretch of I-75 that's often congested. Other projects are underway around the state to improve traffic flow on major roadways.

The 21-mile stretch, comprising two lanes on Interstate 4 through Orlando, joins Express 95 on South Florida’s Interstate 95 in using dynamic tolling.
