I-275 Southbound Ramp (Exit 45A) to Downtown East-West Closing Tuesday Night
Tampa, FL – A temporary closure of the southbound I-275 ramp (Exit 45A) to Downtown East-West (which provides access to Jefferson Street, Ashley Drive, Tampa Street, and Doyle Carlton Drive) is occurring from 10 p.m., Tuesday, November 12, to 5 a.m., Wednesday, November 13, weather permitting.
Southbound motorists will have to detour around the work zone by exiting the interstate using Exit 45B, turning right onto Floribraska Avenue, turning left onto Tampa Street, and continuing south to access Scott Street, Laurel Street, and Cass Street.
Electronic message boards and signage will assist motorists traveling through the area. Motorists should use caution while driving through the work zone and remain alert for construction workers.
This ramp closure is necessary for crews to perform construction activities as part of the Downtown Tampa Interchange (I-275/I-4) Safety and Operational Improvements project. This project is expected to finish in 2027.
