Commuters leaving Tampa will find a new route to the Crosstown Expressway’s elevated lanes. But be patient.
Road engineers are putting design touches on a long-planned Twiggs Street project they hope to start sometime in the spring. Twiggs will be reconstructed and changed from one-way westbound between Morgan Street and Ashley Drive to two-way along the street’s entire length, from Channelside Drive to Ashley.
That should help commuters heading out of town because the on-ramp for the eastbound elevated lanes, set to open Aug. 28, starts at Twiggs and Meridian Avenue. The $900,000 job should last about three months.
