Drivers are advised to expect delays and potential congestion while using this detour. Advanced warning signs and electronic message boards will be in place to assist drivers navigating the area.
These ramp closures are required to facilitate the I-375 concrete pavement repair project, which spans from I-275 to 4th Avenue North in Pinellas County. Construction on this project is anticipated to be completed in 2026.
