TRANSPORTATION & PLANNING

Howard Frankland Bridge closed Saturday, January 9 From the Florida Department of Transportation All I-275 travel lanes on the Howard Frankland Bridge will close from 8 p.m. Saturday, January 9 to 12 p.m. Sunday, January 10, weather permitting. This closure is necessary for crews to remove the 4th Street North (SR 687) bridge over I-275 as part of the Gateway Expressway project.

Electronic message boards and temporary signage will assist. Other roadways (Roosevelt Boulevard, Bayside Bridge, Courtney Campbell Causeway, and Memorial Highway) will remain accessible and may provide an alternate route if needed. Motorists should add approximately 30 minutes of travel time as traffic congestion and delays may occur while traveling on these roadways during this closure. For more Westshore traffic news, subscribe to our weekly traffic alerts.

Conference on Sea Level Rise, January 12 City of Tampa will host a 3 hour webinar on Sea Level Rise and the impact on development regulations. Using a grant provided by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the City is exploring how its land development regulations might be affected by rising seas. Register for the webinar here.
