Yep, John has it right!
Coming from The Villages, we usually take I-75 to 52 (dade city exit?) go west until you hit 589 south bound.
589 changes names several times. (Veterans memorial, Suncoast, Citrus highway) Just to make it more challenging I guess.
You can get off I-75 on 50, 52 or 54 to go west to 589 , but the northern most options help you avoid construction on I-75.
When you get to Tampa Internationsl, you exit onto Hwy 60 to Clearwater via the Courtney Campbell causeway.
Using GPS( google maps or Apple maps) it doesn't look much faster. But due to the construction EVERYWHERE it really does save time. If you look at the big picture on paper map or MapQuest you will see the east/ west connectors easily.
