Attention Manatee drivers: This I-75 ramp will be closed for the next 10 months
Attention drivers: The ramp to northbound Interstate 75 off I-275 in Manatee County closed Sunday for construction.
It will remain closed for at least the next 10 months, the Florida Department of Transportation announced earlier this month.
FL-511 sent out an alert announcing the closure around 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
A concrete bridge deck is being replaced on the southbound I-275 ramp to northbound I-75.
This work, FDOT says, will require southbound I-275 traffic to be closed to traffic at the U.S. 41 exit.
As an alternate route, officials suggest motorists head north on U.S. 41 to State Road 674/East College Avenue and take that to northbound I-75.
