FDOT to begin adding lanes to I-275 in Tampa

The downtown Tampa interchange, where I-4 meets I-275, there's a plan taking shape to relieve congestion. The work to add an extra lane in each direction begins Monday.

The Florida Department of Transportation is hosting an open house to discuss the new expansion of Interstate 275 in Tampa.

The project includes adding a new lane in each direction between the I-4 interchange and Hillsborough Avenue. They also plan to improve some underpasses and sidewalks — and even add some lighting.

The town hall is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Hillsborough County School Bus Transfer Ramp parking lot on Osborne Avenue. It will be a drive-through event.

Those interested can call to ask questions during those same hours by dialing 813-397-8005.
