Jordan Bowen reports
TAMPA, Fla. - Come Monday, the Selmon Expressway West Extension above Gandy Boulevard will open to commuters. The project which took 3 years to complete will make traveling from Brandon to St. Pete much faster.
After 3 years of construction, the Selmon West Extension is now complete and ready to welcome drivers.
The Selmon Expressway is now two miles longer and it s providing even better service to our customers than it did before Monday came, Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority Executive Director Joe Waggoner said.
The 1.9-mile-long toll lane will provide safer transportation to commuters traveling from Brandon to Pinellas County and help cut back on congestion on Gandy Boulevard. The bridge stands 30 feet tall, unlike the typical 15 feet. That s because businesses along Gandy initially raised concern about the bridge possibly blocking the sightline to their business. ....

The Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) estimates 40% of traffic will be pulled from Gandy Boulevard onto the extension, helping with congestion in that corridor. Now businesses are hoping for a rebound after they say three years of construction deterred customers.
A lot of cones, a lot of equipment moving. It was definitely an ordeal for people to just drive on this route, Jerk Hut owner Andrew Ashmeade said. ....
