Tampa 塞尔蒙快速路扩建开工：3.62亿美元拓宽至六车道 市中心一处路口封闭两年
位于佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县的 Tampa 市中心一条道路将因快速路扩建封闭两年。据 FOX 13 Tampa Bay 报道，坦帕希尔斯堡快速路管理局（THEA）已经启动南塞尔蒙增容项目，塞尔蒙快速路过去十年的车流量增长了80%以上，拥堵成为日常。新工程全长4.5英里，从 Himes Avenue 以西延伸到 Florida Avenue 以东，把快速路拓宽到六车道。
施工期间，South Tampa Street 在 East Brorein Street 的交叉口将封闭两年，以便安装扩建所需的支撑柱；East Brorein 街在 South Morgan Street 到 South Florida Avenue 之间的最左侧车道也将停用，改作临时通道，把车辆引向 Franklin Street 和坦帕会展中心的上层装卸区。施工方已在周边设置绕行标志和护栏，坦帕会展中心停车场在施工期间保持开放。Tampa 市政府表示，这项3.62亿美元的工程由 THEA 的通行费收入出资。

Selmon Expressway Expansion Begins in Tampa: $362 Million Widening to Six Lanes Closes Downtown Intersection for Two Years
TAMPA, Florida — A downtown Tampa street, in Hillsborough County, Florida, has closed for two years as construction crews expand the Selmon Expressway. According to FOX 13 Tampa Bay, the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) has started the South Selmon Capacity Project, after traffic on the Selmon Expressway grew by more than 80 percent over the last 10 years. The 4.5-mile project stretches from west of Himes Avenue to east of Florida Avenue and will widen the expressway to six lanes.
During construction, South Tampa Street is closed at East Brorein Street for two years so crews can install the support pillars required for the expansion. Drivers on East Brorein Street lose the far-left lane between South Morgan Street and South Florida Avenue; that lane serves as a temporary thruway connecting drivers to Franklin Street and the Tampa Convention Center's upper loading docks. Detour signs and barricades are in place throughout the area, and the Tampa Convention Center parking garage stays open during construction. The City of Tampa says the $362 million project is funded by THEA toll revenues. (GSM, based on FOX 13 Tampa Bay reporting)
