Description of Improvement

Issue Addressing

1. Cone Grove Road Connection to Riverview Lakes Lane

New two lane roadway connection between Cone Grove Road and Riverview Lakes Lane dead ends. Northbound left-turn access to Cone Grove Road at US 301. Provide a DDI at the I-75/Gibsonton Drive interchange. Provides a crossing maneuver at the two ramp terminals, which will be converted to two-phase signals.

Provides an additional north-south roadway between Symmes Road and Gibsonton Drive. Provides access to Cone Grove Road from northbound US 301. The new two-phase signals will reduce delay at the ramp terminals. Will allow for smoother operations in the AM peak period at the northbound I-75 ramp terminal, which currently creates delay and queuing shockwaves along westbound Gibsonton Drive. Addresses congestion on Symmes Road, especially in the AM peak period. Addresses congestion on East Bay Road, especially in the AM peak period. Addresses congestion associated with AM travel.

2. Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at I-75/Gibsonton Drive (FDOT Project Status: Design is scheduled for 2025))

3. Symmes RoadWidening - East Bay Road to US 301 4. East Bay RoadWidening - Symmes Road to Gibsonton Drive 5. Symmes Road Uneven Widening - East Bay Road to US 301 6. East Bay Road Uneven Widening - Symmes Road to Gibsonton Drive 7. US 301/Symmes Road Intersection Operational Improvements 8. US 41 Widening - Kracker Ave to SR 676 (FDOT Project Status: PD&E study complete; design not yet underway 9. Combine Mathog Road and Alafia Trace Boulevard intersections on Gibsonton Drive

Widen from two to four lanes for entire length of corridor.

Widen from two to four lanes for entire length of corridor.

Widen westbound lanes from one to two for entire length of corridor. Widen northbound lanes from one to two for entire length of corridor. Update the signal timing to improve the delay of the minor approaches, while encouraging the northbound through movement. Widen from four lanes to six lanes for entire length of corridor.

Addresses congestion associated with AM travel.

Addresses congestion observed at this intersection, especially on the east and westbound directions.

Addresses congestion on US 41.

Provide a connection between Mathog Road and Alafia Trace Boulevard, north of Gibsonton Drive. Remove one of the signalized intersection. Geometry changes at remaining signalized intersection.

Reduces the number of signalized intersection on Gibsonton Drive to promote improved flow. Intersection geometry improvements needed to coincide with Cone Grove Road Connection. Addresses congestion on Gibsonton Drive. Coincides with DDI improvement. Addresses congestion on Balm Riverview Road and Boyette Road.

10. Gibsonton Widening - I-75 to US 301 Widen from four lanes to six lanes for entire length of corridor.

11. Balm Riverview Road/Boyette Road Intersection Operational Improvement

Improvement to allow for better northbound through progression in the AM peak period and eastbound right progression in the PM peak period.
