Westshore Blvd. is just ahead while Exit 39 (the exit for westbound FL 60 and Tampa International Airport) is one mile away.

Remain in the right lane as Westshore Blvd. is just around the corner.

Notice the advance signage for FL 60 west to Tampa International Airport and Clearwater.

This is looking north on Westshore Blvd. and you can see the office buildings and hotels in the background. After all, the portion of Westshore Blvd. from Kennedy Blvd. to Spruce Street is considered part of Tampa's Westshore Business District, a semi-downtown in its own right.

As you will notice, there is only northbound access to Interstate 275 from Westshore Blvd. In order to go south on Interstate 275 simply head south on Westshore Blvd. to Kennedy Blvd. (FL 60). West on Kennedy Blvd. and follow the signs to Interstate 275 south. It's simple as that. If you're headed to Westshore Plaza, it's on your right as you go under Interstate 275.

This was taken just before we cross Westshore Blvd.

Notice the dedicated exit only lane, which was formed from the Westshore Blvd. entrance ramp.

Lois Avenue provides an alternative route to Raymond James Stadium (via Columbus Drive) as well as direct access to International Plaza, the upscale shopping mall.

Lois Avenue is 1/4 mile ahead while the two Dale Mabry Highway exits - Exits 41A and 41B - are 3/4 and one mile respectively.

Westshore Blvd. as well as FL 60 west to Tampa International Airport are also shown.

Notice the yellow overhead advisory sign warning motorists to check their fuel tanks before crossing the Howard Frankland Bridge, as it is indeed a long bridge. That sign is a holdover from the days when the Howard Frankland was a single 4-lane bridge and traffic tie-ups were common. Even today, you do not want to run out of gas on the Howard Frankland Bridge!

This is looking east on Cypress Street just as you go under Interstate 275. You'll notice that it used to be two overpass bridges back in 1962 when Interstate 275 was built but it was made into one huge overpass bridge when widening improvements to Interstate 275 were done in the mid-1970's.

Here we are at Lois Avenue as it goes under Interstate 275. Notice again that it used to be two overpass bridges when Interstaste 275 was originally built but it was made into one when the widening improvements took place in the mid-1970's. Lois Avenue is four lanes to Kennedy Blvd.; south of Kennedy Blvd. Lois Avenue transitions into a residential two-lane street.

Here we are at Lois Avenue as it goes under Interstate 275. From here Lois Avenue is four lanes all the way to Spruce Street (FL 616) and International Plaza. Lois Avenue is an alternate route to Raymond James Stadium (via Spruce Street and Columbus Drive eastbound to Dale Mabry) on game days.

This is seen as we cross Lois Avenue.

Actually, after reducing the fraction it comes out to 1/5 mile. No matter how you look at it.

Use Exit 41A (Dale Mabry southbound) for MacDill AFB and Exit 41B (Dale Mabry northbound) to reach the Dale Mabry campus of Hillsborough Community College. Coincidentally, the HCC Dale Mabry campus is located right across the street from Raymond James Stadium.

Northbound Dale Mabry Highway is just around the corner.

Use this exit to reach Raymond James Stadium and the Dale Mabry campus of Hillsborough Community College. Remember to reduce speed to 20 mph as this ramp is a circular loop ramp much like Gandy Blvd. and 54 Av N in St. Petersburg.

The next exit, Armenia and Howard Avenues, is represented.

Use either Exit 40B (Lois Avenue) or Exit 41B (northbound Dale Mabry Highway) to get there.

However, Legends Field is now George Steinbrenner Field, named after the owner of the New York Yankees. After all, it is the New York Yankees that train every spring in Tampa.

Himes Avenue is 1/2 mile ahead while Dale Mabry Highway is 3/4 mile away.

This was taken crossing Howard Avenue on southbound Interstate 275.

Himes Avenue is your exit from southbound Interstate 275 if you are headed to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game or a New York Yankees spring training game at these venues. The ramps to and from Himes Avenue were constructed in 1995 in order to better expedite traffic flow to these two sporting venues.

Himes Avenue - Exit 41C - is a northbound entrance and southbound exit only ramp, much like 28 St S (Exit 21) in St. Petersburg.

Use this exit for the Dale Mabry campus of Hillsborough Community College as well as Raymond James Stadium in case you missed Exit 41C, the Himes Avenue exit. Southbound Dale Mabry Highway is just around the corner.

Use southbound Dale Mabry Highway to reach MacDill AFB. You can also use southbound Dale Mabry Highway as US 92 to reach Gandy Blvd. and St. Petersburg via the Gandy Bridge if in the event there is a major incident on the Howard Frankland Bridge.

Use Exit 41A (southbound Dale Mabry Highway) for MacDill AFB and Exit 40B (Lois Avenue) for International Plaza, the upscale shopping mall.

This is signage on northbound Dale Mabry Highway showing motorists how to reach Ocala (via Interstates 275 and 75) and Orlando (via Interstate 4).

This overpass is expected to be replaced as part of the upcoming Interstate 275 reconstruction and widening project.

Motorists headed to St. Petersburg should use Interstate 275 south while motorists headed to Ocala or Orlando should use Interstates 275/75 or Interstate 4 respectively.
