The intersection of SR 60 (Memorial Highway) and Kennedy Boulevard is in the City of Tampa. Kennedy Boulevard is an east – west arterial through the City of Tampa. SR 60 is a major inter-regional route, connecting Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties via the Courtney Campbell Causeway. The intersection is presently signalized. The southern leg of the intersection, Sherrill Street, is a local street which also serves as an access point for a parking lot.

The two arterial road approaches to the intersection are divided by a raised, concrete median. At its intersection with SR 60, Kennedy Boulevard has two through lanes in each direction, no left-tum lanes eastbound to SR 60 and a single westbound left turn lane into Sherrill Street. The right turn from Kennedy Boulevard on to Memorial Highway is provided by an exclusive right turn lane. The Memorial Highway approach to the intersection consists of a right turn lane, a left turn lane and a shared left and through lane.

Proposed Improvements

The previous acquisition of the Amoco gas station on the northeast comer of the intersection enables the complete re-alignment of the intersection of Memorial Highway (north) and Kennedy Boulevard (east). The improvements include three through lanes westbound on Kennedy, and two left turn lanes onto Kennedy.
