The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) reports that beginning Monday, January 27, motorists can expect a new traffic pattern for westbound I-4 to Exit 45A (Downtown East-West) in Tampa. The duration of this traffic pattern is anticipated for approximately six months, weather permitting. Â
Westbound I-4 motorists will have to merge left toward southbound I-275 and then keep right to access the new entry point to Exit 45A (Downtown East-West). Once drivers enter the ramp, they will have to merge with incoming traffic traveling from the southbound I-275 ramp (Exit 45A). Traffic needing to exit the ramp onto Ashley Drive should keep left at the fork and proceed onto the Downtown West ramp. Drivers needing to access Jefferson Street will have to stay right on the ramp and proceed toward Downtown East.
Motorists are reminded to slow down, stay alert, and drive safely while traveling through the work zone.
This temporary traffic pattern is necessary for crews to perform construction activities for the Downtown Tampa Interchange (I-275/I-4) Safety and Operational Improvements project.
