Intermittent Nighttime Ramp Closures from Tampa Airport and Spruce St to SR 60 and NB SR 589

Tampa, FL – Intermittent nighttime ramp closures from Tampa International Airport, Spruce Street, SR 60 (Memorial Highway) and northbound SR 589 (Veterans Expressway) continue from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday through Thursday (3/1 – 3/5, and 3/8 – 3/12), weather permitting.

Motorists exiting Tampa International Airport will use the Spruce Street ramp (stay right at the fork), continue eastbound on Spruce Street, turn right onto Westshore Boulevard, turn right onto Kennedy Boulevard, and proceed north toward SR 60 (Memorial Highway) and SR 589 (Veterans Expressway) ramps.

Motorists traveling westbound on Spruce Street will detour around the work zone using Westshore Boulevard and Kennedy Boulevard to access SR 60 (Memorial Highway) and SR 589 (Veterans Expressway).

During the nighttime ramp closures of eastbound SR 60 to northbound SR 589 (Veterans Expressway), motorists will have to stay right at the fork, continue toward the Spruce Street ramp (Exit 1B), make a U-turn at the traffic signal (O’Brien Street), and proceed west on Spruce Street toward SR 589 (Veterans Expressway) ramp.   

Advanced warning signs and message boards will assist vehicles traveling through the area. Motorists should use caution when driving through the work zone and remain alert for construction workers.

These temporary ramp closures are necessary for crews to perform paving operations as part of the widening of westbound SR 60 near the Tampa International Airport. For more information on this project, visit FDOT Tampa Bay.
