NEW: As of October 20th, a new traffic pattern is in place on E. Brorein and S. Tampa Streets. The new pattern converts the leftmost lane of E. Brorein St. to two-way traffic, so drivers on S. Tampa St. can still reach S. Franklin St. This is needed for construction on the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority’s (THEA) South Selmon Capacity Project.
