TAMPA, Fla. – The southbound lanes of the Howard Frankland Bridge will be closed Tuesday  night for construction work.

According to the Florida Department of Transportation, the lanes from Tampa into St. Petersburg will close Monday at 11 p.m. and should reopen by 5 a.m. Wednesday.

The closure will allow crews to install signs above the roadway.

Message boards and temporary signage will assist southbound I-275 motorists traveling around the closure via the posted detour route of Memorial Highway (SR 60), Courtney Campbell Causeway (SR 60), Bayside Bridge (CR 611), and Roosevelt Boulevard SR 686).

Other roadways (Kennedy Boulevard, Dale Mabry Highway, and Gandy Boulevard) will be accessible and may provide an alternate route.   

Northbound traffic into Tampa won’t be impacted.
