This temporary closure is necessary as crews perform maintenance activities as part of the widening of westbound SR 60 near the Tampa International Airport.
The $45.5 million project is adding one westbound SR 60 (Memorial Highway) travel lane from the George J. Bean Parkway to the Courtney Campbell Causeway and constructing a new flyover ramp from westbound SR 60 to the Independence Parkway near the Tampa International Airport.
Construction activities are expected to finish in the spring of 2025.
