Beginning at 11 am today, the southbound lane of South MacDill Avenue will be closed between West Bay to Bay Boulevard and West Julia Street while the Tampa Water Department repairs a water main break. Traffic will be shifted into the open median turn lane. 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, May 4. 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.
