Florida State Road 60
State Road 60 (SR 60) is an east–west route transversing Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. The western terminus of SR 60 is at the "Sunsets at Pier 60" site in Clearwater Beach. The eastern terminus is in Vero Beach near the Atlantic Coast just past State Road A1A. Route description. SR 60 is primarily a four lane divided highway from its western terminus through the town of Lake Wales to County Road 630 near Indian Lake Estates; from there it is a two-lane road until reaching Florida's Turnpike  at Yeehaw Junction. From there until its eastern terminus it is a divided highway. In the Tampa Bay area it is the main route from Tampa to the Clearwater area beaches and from Tampa International Airport to northern Pinellas county. It also provides service from Tampa International Airport to the Suncoast Parkway. It is the main non-limited access route from downtown Tampa to Brandon, paralleling the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway. As of 2005, SR 60 briefly divides into two, one-way streets in southern downtown Clearwater. This is a result of the recent realignment of the SR 60 corridor  in the area, following the completion of the new Memorial Causeway. Local street names for SR 60. From west to east: History.
