TAMPA, Fla. – Beginning at 11 p.m. Monday, March 27, through 5 a.m. Tuesday, March 28, the southbound I-275 ramp (Exit 45B) to eastbound I-4 is closing temporarily for crews to perform construction activities as part of the I-275 Capacity Improvements project.

This project is expected to finish in 2026.

Motorists will have to detour around the work zone by continuing south on I-275, exiting the interstate at Jefferson Street (Exit 45A), keeping left at the fork, turning left onto Scott Street, and re-entering the interstate using the eastbound I-4 entrance ramp.
Advanced warning signs and electronic message boards will assist motorists traveling through the area.
