FDOT Nixes Elevated Pasco Expressway For SR 54/56

Bay News 9 reports that the state has decided not to move forward with a proposed 33 mile project for an elevated toll expressway in Pasco County in part because the project wouldn't work without tax dollars. The proposed $2 billion controversial project was opposed by many in the county and would have been the state's first private toll road linking US 19 to US 301.
