Phase 1 of the Express Lanes were completed on December 9, 2017. They run in both directions from Memorial Highway (Exit 3) to Wilksy Boulevard (Exit 8). Phase 2 remains under construction through this spring. Extending northward from Gunn Highway (Exit 9) to the Suncoast Parkway \/ Veterans Expressway split at Exit 13, work on them is nearly complete, with paving one of the notable operations still underway. The overall Veterans Expressway project started in 2013. It expanded the toll road from four to eight overall lanes.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"awb-gallery-wrapper awb-gallery-wrapper-1 button-span-no\"><div style=\"margin:-5px;--awb-bordersize:0px;\" class=\"fusion-gallery fusion-gallery-container fusion-grid-2 fusion-columns-total-4 fusion-gallery-layout-masonry fusion-gallery-1\"><div class=\"fusion-grid-column fusion-gallery-column fusion-gallery-column-2 hover-type-none fusion-grid-sizer\"><\/div><div style=\"padding:5px;\" class=\"fusion-grid-column fusion-gallery-column fusion-gallery-column-2 hover-type-none fusion-element-grid\"><div class=\"fusion-gallery-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaroads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog_images\/southeast\/fl-589-n-at-fl-580.jpg\" data-title=\"fl-589-n-at-fl-580\" title=\"fl-589-n-at-fl-580\" rel=\"noreferrer\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[gallery_image_1]\" class=\"fusion-lightbox\" target=\"_self\"><div style=\"padding-top:calc((100% + 10px) * 0.8 -
