This project will improve the safety and operations of the I-275/I-4 interchange in downtown Tampa.  Improvements include

• widening the existing single lane ramp from southbound I-275 to eastbound I-4 to two lanes
• widening the existing single lane ramp from westbound I-4 to northbound I-275 to two lanes,
• widening the existing two lane ramp from westbound I-4 to southbound I-275 to three lanes. 

Additional improvements include

• changing the eastbound exit ramps from I-4 into Ybor City/ East Tampa by providing access at 14th/15th streets instead of 21st/ 22nd streets,
• widening the the existing eastbound frontage road (13th Ave) to two lanes,
• adding an additional merge lane on northbound I-275 between I-4 and the DR. MLK exit,
• widening the shoulders on southbound I-275 between Palm Avenue and Jefferson St.
• shifting the exit ramp from southbound I-275 into downtown Tampa to the west of the current alignment.

Construction is anticipated to begin in 2023.
