Beginning at 9am today, the outside southbound lane on North Nebraska Avenue will be closed between East Sligh Avenue and East Elm Street while the Tampa Water Department conducts maintenance on the water distribution system. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 5pm tonight and then close again at 9am the following morning to continue the work. Barricades and signs will be located in the area to assist with rerouting and traffic flow. 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, July 26. The Tampa Water Department may need to return at a later date to complete additional work. An update will be provided at that time. Work schedules are contingent upon weather conditions. The staff and crews of the Tampa Water Department appreciate everyone's patience during this time.
