Additional improvements include: Changing the eastbound exit ramps from I-4 into Ybor City/ East Tampa by providing access at 14th/15th streets instead of 21st/ 22nd streets. Widening the existing eastbound frontage road (13th Ave) to two lanes. Adding an additional merge lane on northbound I-275 between I-4 and the Dr. MLK Jr, exit. Widening the shoulders on southbound I-275 between Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street.
