Beginning at 9am today, the outside southbound lane on N Himes Ave between W Ohio Ave and W Dr Martin Luther King Blvd will be closed while the Tampa Water Department conducts maintenance on the water distribution system. Barricades and signs will be located in the area to assist with rerouting and traffic flow. All lanes will reopen to traffic each day by 5pm and then close again the following morning at 9am. To facilitate traffic flow over the weekend, travel lanes will reopen to traffic on Friday, April 21 by 5pm and then close again on Monday, April 24 at 9am to continue the work. Please consider alternate routes and use caution when driving in the area. Modifications to lane closures may be necessary during the course of the work.
The completion of the work with a return to normal traffic patterns is expected by 5pm, Wednesday, April 26. Work schedules are contingent upon weather conditions. The staff and crews of the Tampa Water Department appreciate everyone's patience during this time.
