All lanes will reopen to traffic by 5pm each day and then close again the following morning at 9am to continue the work. In addition, all lanes will be open throughout the weekend with work resuming on Monday, April 8 at 9am. Please use caution when driving in the area.
The completion of the work with a return to normal traffic patterns is expected by 5pm, Wednesday, April 10. The Tampa Water Department may need to return at a later date to complete additional work.
