Jeff Young Bridge I-75/US-301 Construction Aerial Update

The Florida Department of Transportation is reconstructing the interchange at I-75 and US 301. The improvements include reconfiguring the existing interchange as well as enhancements to three intersections along US 301: 51st Avenue East, 60th Avenue East, and 19th Street East, and adding auxiliary lanes from SR 64 to the new ramps.

This project is to widen I-75 and reconstruct the I-75/US-301 interchange from a partial cloverleaf interchange to a tight diamond configuration. New bridges will be constructed over the Manatee River for a northbound exit ramp and a southbound entrance ramp. They will be compatible with the ultimate section for future mainline traffic. The widening and reconstruction of I-75 will provide for an eight-lane divided roadway with 12-foot inside and outside shoulders and a median that varies from 64 feet to 161 feet. A depressed median with roadside ditches will be used to convey storm water.
