TAMPA — The southbound exit ramp to Lois Avenue on Interstate 275 was closed permanently early Tuesday, transportation officials said.
The exit, 40B, was shut down about 5 a.m. in preparation for a new ramp, under construction, that will take drivers to westbound Cypress Street, east of Lois Avenue.
During construction, drivers can take the next exit, 40A, to reach Lois Avenue.
