Westshore Interchange

The Tampa City Council gave initial approval to the plan, which has raised questions about the impact on traffic in the West Shore area.

The former DoubleTree Hotel was demolished to set up a staging area for the upcoming Westshore Interchange construction project

The implosion, which was pushed back due to bad weather, will cause temporary road closures in the area.

Tampa police will set up an exclusion zone before the 4 a.m. razing of the former DoubleTree Westshore. Area roads, including I-275 bordering to the south, will be shut down ahead of the blast.
