The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) reports that a temporary closure of the westbound I-4 entrance ramp to northbound I-275 will occur nightly from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Sunday and Monday (August 18 and 19), weather permitting.
Motorists will have to detour around the work zone by continuing west on I-4, exiting the interstate using Exit 45A (Downtown East/West), keeping left at the fork toward Downtown East, continuing south on Orange Avenue, turning left onto Cass Street, turning left onto Cass Orange Connector, and continuing north to re-enter the interstate using the northbound I-275 entrance ramp.
Advanced warning signs and electronic message boards will assist motorists traveling through the area. Drivers should use caution while traveling through the work zone and remain alert for construction workers.
These nightly ramp closures are necessary as crews perform overhead bridge work as part of the Downtown Tampa Interchange (I-275/I-4) Safety and Operational Improvements project. This project is expected to finish in 2027.
