Residents near Selmon Expressway invited to share feedback on expansion project
Briona Arradondo reports
TAMPA, Fla. - Plans to add lanes to the Selmon Expressway are in the works but first, the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) wants to hear feedback from residents in a public meeting Thursday.
THEA started a South Selmon Project Development and Environment study in 2019 to look at where and how to add lanes on the toll road. The project would run about 4.5 miles from Himes Avenue to Whiting Street downtown.
The Palma Ceia playground and dog park falls within the study area in South Tampa since the park and surrounding neighborhood back up to the Selmon Expressway.
