Traffic Detoured Off I-275 in Westshore Area on Tuesday

If you're driving in the Westshore area near I-275 this week, traffic patterns won't look the same as they did last week.

That's because from Tuesday night to Wednesday morning, traffic will be detoured off I-275 in the Westshore area to remove an overhead sign truss that spans all lanes of the interstate, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.

The interstate will be closed in both directions from 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 20, until 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

Here's a detour suggestion from FDOT: If you're heading northbound, use exit 39A to eastbound State Road 60. Head east on Kennedy to West Shore to the northbound I-275 entrance ramp.

If you're headed southbound in I-275, use exit 40A to West Shore, head north on Cypress, and turn left to head southbound after crossing State Road 60.
