The following toll plazas and interchanges on the Florida Turnpike were converted to the SunPass System March 17:
Lantana Mainline Toll Plaza
Lake Worth/Lake Worth Road Interchange
West Palm Beach/Okeechobee Blvd. Interchange
Palm Beach Gardens/PGA Blvd. Interchange
Jupiter/Indiantown Road Interchange
Stuart/Martin Downs Blvd. Interchange
Port St. Lucie/Port St. Lucie Blvd. Interchange
Fort Pierce/State Road 70 Interchange
Yeehaw Junction/State Road 60 Interchange
Three Lakes Mainline Toll Plaza
SunPass has been successful in reducing congestion in South Florida, Tampa and Orlando areas. Deborah Stemle, Florida Department of Transportation director of toll operations, said FDOT expects similar benefits for customers who use the Turnpike's ticket system from Lantana to Kissimmee.
