Beginning at 9am today (07/24/2024), the outside westbound lane on Bayshore Boulevard will be closed between South De Soto Avenue and South Howard Avenue 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, Tuesday, July 25. Work schedules are contingent upon weather conditions. The staff and crews of the Tampa Water Department appreciate everyone's patience during this time.
