Trinity Commute (Westchase: new construction, airport, to move)

[OnTheMove81]

Can anyone tell me how long an average commute would be to say the TPA airport?

Thanks

After the morning rush on Veterans (Toll rd) probably 30 minutes, with traffic probably close to an hour...but it depends if you go against the traffic or with the traffic! some times if I go in the opposite direction I am having the road to myself..........

Would 1 hour be the average commute on the 589? It takes me 25 minutes from the airport to westchase at around 6PM. I'm assuming it would be another 15 minutes to Trinity. Can anyone clarify? Once in a while you get a bad day.. but for the most part it is about 25 to westchase.

to clarify, my simple math is that it would probably take me 40 minutes to trinity on average from the airport.. Am I off?

Thanks..

Westchase is much closer than Trinity....Trinity is all the way up on 54!

If someone decided to have an accident anywhere past Waters Ave going south, they usually love to cause accidents around that whole mess by the airport with all the new construction going on since 2003 and before, that area is terrible and you will be stuck on Veterans for quite a while....going North back to Trinity, you will be slow at rush hour once again before Waters, after that big Toll plaza it seems to move once again, but it really depends on how many people are going north....if you are stuck behind that one guy that doesn't know the RIGHT LANE is for the slow pookies...then it could take a while!

yeah, i've seen the result of an accident. 90 minutes from westchase to the city. that was crazy.

i don't mind taking my chances with an accident once in a while though.. it's the average commute that I"m interested in. sounds like my math is right.. and that it is usually a 40 minute commute.

Thanks...

it should be 40 minutes...technically....
