How far is it from Tampa to St Petersburg?
Tampa to St Petersburg is an easy ride of 26 min (23.7 mi) via I-275 S or 33 min (23.4 mi) via W Gandy Blvd and I-275 S.
It can take longer depending on the season and the time of the day you are travelling, and if you are going from Tampa to St Petersburg or coming in the opposite direction.
Wich Way is better W Gandy Blvd or I-275 S ?
Because of the fast growing Economy in Tampa Bay, a lot of work is being done around I-275 S and W Gandy Blvd, this is why there is no better way to travel between Tampa and St Petersburg.
The way you choose should depend on what part of town you are going to or coming from.
If you are leaving South Tampa to St Petersburg or coming to South Tampa, your best way is W Gandy Blvd, but if you are going to St Pete from North Tampa or Tampa International Airport, the fastest way will be I-275 S
Keep in mind that this situation is only temporary. When work is done, W Gandy Blvd in my opinion will be the fastest way, because the work being done now at a fast pace will be connecting the crosstown to I-275 S, wish will improve traffic in Gandy Blvd and make it easy to go from Tampa to St Petersburg and vice versa.
Expect more traffic in busy times in the morning and around 5 O’Clock, and also in winter time when more tourists come to Tampa Bay to enjoy the beautiful weather away from the cold, and what this beautiful area has to offer.
