State Road 616 (SR 616) is an east–west road consisting of two wide streets near Tampa International Airport; West Spruce Street, and Boy Scout Boulevard. It runs from the interchange with Veterans Expressway ( State Road 60) and George J. Bean Parkway to Dale Mabry Highway ( U.S. Route 92 or US 92). In September 2001, the International Plaza shopping mall opened on the corner of SR 616 and West Shore Blvd.
State Road 616 was originally a free section of State Road 589 when SR 60/589 overlapped between Exits 1 and 2A. [2] SR 589 was planned to be extended to a connecting road between I-275 & the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway, which would've led to a change in the designation for West Spruce Street and Boy Scout Boulevard.[ citation needed] The connection between the Veterans and Crosstown Expressways was cancelled, but the free section of SR 589 was converted anyway.
