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.

“[With the Union saved] its form of government is saved to the world; its beloved history, and cherished memories, are vindicated; and its happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
—Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)
