All eastbound lanes on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard are now closed between North 22nd Street and North 24th Street while the Tampa Water Department repairs a water main break. In addition, the northbound lane on North 22nd Street is also closed between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and East 31st Avenue as part of this repair work.

The completion of the work with a return to normal traffic patterns is expected by 5pm, Tuesday, July 11. The Tampa Water Department may need to return at a later date to complete additional work.
