Exiting Conditions Drivers using the I-275/I-4 interchange experience congestion and high crash rates caused by existing bottlenecks along the high-volume corridors of I-4 and I-275. Backups occur along southbound I-275 as drivers stack along the corridor to exit to eastbound I-4 via the one-lane exit ramp. This causes congestion for drivers continuing southbound. Along westbound I-4, congestion occurs within the interchange as drivers exit via a one-lane ramp to northbound I-275, turn to southbound I-275 or exit to downtown Tampa.

Proposed Improvements FDOT has developed three operational improvements to enhance traffic operations and safety. These improvements will address the existing bottlenecks and high crash rates experienced within the I-275/I-4 interchange and include the following movements:

1. Southbound I-275 to Eastbound I-4

2. Westbound I-4 to Northbound I-275

3. Westbound I-4 to Southbound I-275

• Access to downtown Tampa via exits remains the same

• Widen existing shoulders on southbound I-275 between Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street to improve safety

• No Right of Way (ROW) impacts are anticipated

Widen Ramp to 3 Through Lanes

Relocate Downtown Exits

Widen Shoulders for Improved Safety

I-275/I-4 Interchange Operational Improvements

Southbound I-275 to Eastbound I-4 • Widen existing one-lane flyover exit ramp from southbound I-275 to I-4 to two lanes

• Modify exits to Ybor City and East Tampa while maintaining access to local community

° 21st/22nd Street exit ramp relocated to 14th/15th Street. A frontage road (E. 13th Avenue) with signalized intersections will provide access to 21st/22nd Streets.

° Modified exit location eliminates need for drivers to enter onto I-4 to access Ybor City and East Tampa. The new exit location will provide direct access to 14th/15th Streets from I-275.

° Drivers on northbound I-275 can use the relocated exit ramp to 14th/15th Street to access Ybor City and East Tampa without entering onto I-4

° The southbound I-275 exit ramp to Floribraska Ave will be removed

• Right of Way (ROW) impacts are anticipated to one parcel

Westbound I-4 to Northbound I-275 • Widen existing one-lane exit ramp from westbound I-4 to northbound I-275 to 3 lanes

° 2 lanes from Westbound I-4

° One lane from 14th Street on ramp

• Add new on-ramp from 14th Street to northbound I-275

• Additional merge lanes on northbound I-275 to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard will alleviate congestion and improve operations and safety

• Right of Way (ROW) impacts are anticipated to less than ten parcels
