About this Project
The Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) contractor has completed installing Intelligent Transportation System devices as part of the Tampa SunGuide Freeway Management System.

This project included installation of dynamic message signs, closed circuit television cameras, and microwave vehicle detectors on State Road 60, the Veterans Expressway, and Spruce Street in the vicinity of Tampa International Airport.

The SunGuide Freeway Management System provides the tools to help FDOT manage traffic. The sensors and cameras provide data to view traffic speed and volume, allowing SunGuide operators the ability to provide motorists and traffic reporters "real time" traffic information. It also enables quicker response to traffic incidents such as accidents, disabled vehicles, and other roadway problems, which can enable traffic flow to be restored to normal conditions faster.

The information is relayed to motorists using the 511 system and the changeable message signs (Dynamic Message Signs) mounted over the travel lanes.

Tis project area features 4 message signs, 4 cameras, and 2 vehicle detection systems.

Lane Closure Hours were
