Introduction

Constructed in 1982 the eighth segment of Interstate 275 begins at Queensboro Av S and takes the highway over 22 Av S and 26 Av S, stopping temporarily at 39 Av S.  Like its counterparts at 28 St S and 31 St S, both interchanges feature partial exits.  22 Av S has a double northbound entrance (for traffic coming from eastbound and westbound 22 Av S) and a single southbound exit, while 26 Av S has a southbound entrance and a northbound exit.

22 Av S takes motorists to Gulfport, South Pasadena and St. Pete Beach via Pasadena Blvd. South.  The Stetson University College of Law is also reached at this exit.  Northbound travelers can exit at 26 Av S and follow the signs to 22 Av S.

	Interstate 275 as it crosses 26 Av S This is looking west on 26 Av S.
	Signage for Interstate 275 south to Bradenton Taken from US 19 (34 St S) as we look east on 26 Av S.
	Signage for Interstate 275 north to Tampa Also taken on 26 Av S looking east. Notice how motorists are directed to use 31 St S north to 22 Av S in order to reach northbound Interstate 275. Apparently this sign has been there since this section of Interstate 275 opened in 1982 and is in probable need of replacement as it is faded.
	Interstate 275 crossing 38 Av S This is looking westbound on 38 Av S towards US 19 (34 St S).
	Interstate 275 crossing 38 Av S, Part II This is looking east on 38 Av S towards 31 St S.
