From Wikipedia:
The Lee Roy Selmon Expressway, originally known as the Southern Crosstown Expressway is a 14.168-mile (22.801 km) all-electronic, limited access toll road in Hillsborough County, Florida, It connects the South Tampa neighborhood near MacDill Air Force Base with Downtown Tampa and the bedroom community of Brandon. The expressway was built in stages, opening between 1976 and 1987.
The expressway was supposed to be part of a multi-expressway system that failed in the 1970s due to heavy local opposition and financial burdens. The original designation for the expressway was State Road 449, but was switched to State Road 618, which remained a hidden designation until the early 2000s, when it began appearing on maps and in atlases.
The expressway features an elevated bridge, the world's first reversible, all-electronic, elevated express lane project, opened in 2006, with the hidden designation of State Road 618A. The entire expressway ended cash collection on September 17, 2010, going all-electronic for both the express lanes and the main expressway.
The expressway was renamed Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway in 1999, in honor of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers hall-of-fame football player Lee Roy Selmon. The "Crosstown" portion of the name was dropped in 2008, although it is still referred to as the "Crosstown" by the majority of the population. Most traffic reports and locals refer to it as the Crosstown.

[@Mapmaker1559]

Is it possible that we might get to see the elevated express lanes from Brandon to downtown Tampa?

[@321gates]

There are videos of that segment of the crosstown on TH-cam.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Possibly depending on timing. I had actually wanted to get them for this video but didn’t realize the westbound ones are only open weekday mornings.

[@Mapmaker1559]

@@MileageMikeTravels That's cool. The other direction would be fine as well.

[@Graphics_Card]

0:22 HOLY SHIT HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? 😂

[@itsurboijp2698]

0:25 bad drivers never miss their exits... even if it means cutting across multiple lanes of traffic and barely staying on pavement

[@mathiasanzola]

Mike when you drive on i4 in orlendo keep your speed at all time at 60 mph because it’s the law do a video of you driving 60 mph do not rise the speed be careful to not rise the speed

[@Highnoon59]
