Beginning at 9am today, the outside eastbound and westbound lanes on East Lake Avenue will be closed between North 14th Street and North 15th Street while the Tampa Water Department repairs a water main break. Traffic will be shifted to the eastbound and westbound turn lanes to maintain traffic flow in both directions. Barricades and signs will be located in the area to assist with traffic flow. Please use caution when driving in the area. Modifications 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, Thursday, July 27. 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.
