While this opening marks a significant stride in the project’s progression, it’s important to note that the work isn’t fully completed; the reconstruction journey continues. The southbound I275 Exit 32 ramp leading to southbound Fourth Street is sustaining its closure status as works forge ahead, eyeing a grand reopening slated for October.

This ambitious venture, baptized as the $580 million Gateway Expressway project, envisions a transformative change in the region’s connectivity landscape. It articulates the creation of brand new linkages between U.S. 19 and I275 through the genesis of two elevated toll roads, primed to replace the existing Fourth Street North bridge over I275.

With the countdown to mid-to-late October already ticking for the reopening of the southbound exit ramp, the community waits with bated breath to embrace the revamped transport infrastructure that promises not just enhanced connectivity but a more fluid and dynamic traffic management system.

Stay tuned as we continue to bring you updates on the unfolding narrative of the Gateway Expressway project, a development that signals an era of improved transportation networking in the region.
