Future
There are currently plans for tolled SunPass express lanes on the middle of the expressway to relieve the traffic. The Express Lanes will significantly improve the capacity and operations of the I-595 corridor by providing 3 additional at-grade lanes in the median of the corridor. The lanes will reverse direction in peak travel times (eastbound in the a.m. / westbound in the p.m.). To maximize the operational efficiency, the lanes will be tolled at varying rates throughout the day to optimize traffic flow, and access to and from the lanes will only be allowed west of 136th Avenue, east of State Road 7, and through a direct connection to the median of Florida’s Turnpike, removing long distance commuter traffic from the general purpose lanes. FDOT will retain control of the toll revenue and toll rates.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“It is a time when one’s spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
