About this Project
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) plans to improve State Road 60/Memorial Highway from I-275 to the Courtney Campbell Causeway interchange, in the vicinity of Tampa International Airport (TIA). The project also extends west one mile onto the Courtney Campbell Causeway (S.R. 60) and north to the Veterans Expressway. This entire project is known as the Tampa Airport Interchanges project. See map.

The Spruce Street/S.R. 60 interchange will be improved to a four-level interchange and the Courtney Campbell/S.R. 60 interchange will be improved to a three-level directional interchange. This configuration eliminates S.R. 60 traffic signals within the Courtney Campbell interchange and on the Causeway at the Hyatt entrance. It also provides a two lane frontage road system for access to the Hyatt property. The new interchange configuration features the separation of local and express traffic with collector/distributor (C/D) roads and express lanes. This system is also expected to help reduce congestion on the interstate ramps within the area and improve access to Tampa International Airport.
