North Himes Avenue is now closed between West Hamilton Avenue and West Broad Street while the Tampa Water Department conducts maintenance on the water distribution system. Barricades and signs are located in the area to assist with rerouting and traffic flow. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 5 pm each day and then close again the following morning at 9 am to continue the work. Please use caution when driving in the area.
The completion of the work with a return to normal traffic patterns is expected by 5 pm, Thursday, March 7. The Tampa Water Department may need to return at a later date to complete additional work.
