Commerce Street connects south Tampa with Picnic Island Park, a municipal park located on the east shore of Old Tampa Bay between the port and Mac Dill Air Force Base. 09/05/15

Interbay Boulevard was once a part of State Road 685A from Dale Mabry Highway (SR 685) west to West Shore Boulevard (Florida Secondary 587). SR 685A then extended west along Commerce Street to Port Tampa. The remainder of Interbay Boulevard east from Dale Mabry Highway to Bayshore Boulevard was always a locally maintained road.
