At 9 a.m., today, May 17, the outer northbound lane on North Florida Avenue will close between East Idlewild Avenue and West Henry Avenue while the Tampa Water Department completes work on the water distribution system. Barricades and signage will be located in the area to assist with traffic flow and rerouting. Please use caution when driving in the area. Modifications to lane closures may be necessary during the course of the work.

The work is expected to be completed with a return to normal traffic patterns by 6 p.m., tonight. Work schedules are contingent upon weather conditions. The staff and crews of the Tampa Water Department appreciate everyone's patience during this time.
