April 16, 2018 – Overpass Rd. Interchange: Gov. Scott did not veto the funding this time.

As the Wesley Chapel continues to move closer to future development, it is a bit closer to getting an off ramp. One year after Gov. Rick Scott vetoed $15 million that was supposed to be used to build an interchange at Overpass Rd. and l-75; he has allowed roughly the same amount ($15 million) to remain in the upcoming state budget.

Although the amount is not enough to fund the project which needs about $64 million, it is large enough to get the project started. According to Mike Moore (Pasco County commissioner), aside from the fact that the proposed interchange will relieve traffic at the S.R. 54 and S.R. 56 exits in Wesley Chapel, it will also improve emergency evacuation and response time in the county.

More also says it will be a big help in the area as it will help districts like the Pasadena Hills and the Connected City project which is currently under development in northern Wesley Chapel. The Connected City under development is running north from Wesley Chapel Overpass Rd. to the San Antonio S.R. 52, and east from l-75 to Curley Rd. By the time the project is complete, there will be 37,000 homes, 100,000 residents and 67,000 jobs in the Connected City.

Those are not the only development that will come to this area; Quail Hollow will also be adding 400 homes on the former golf property. More says “We are preparing for 20, 30 and 40 years down the road.” The plan to build the new l-75 interchange at Overpass Rd. is part of the big project that will link Old Pasco Rd. to U.S. Hwy 301 in Zephyrhills.

The county thinks the project identified in the 2009 Pasco MPO’s (Metropolitan Planning Organization) Transportation Update Plan through 2035 will be completed by November 2022 because aside from the $15 million included in the state budget, there is already a $30million. So the county needs additional $20 million to complete the fund for the project.

Currently, the Overpass Rd. is a two-lane roadway, but it will be widened to four lanes in addition to the interstate exit. The four lanes will start from l-75 all the way to Old Pasco Rd. It is now clear that Wesley Chapel will soon develop into a better county with more jobs, homes and residents.
