Drivers who regularly use the Howard Frankland Bridge should be aware of changes announced by the Florida Department of Transportation on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Starting next week, FDOT is lowering the speed limit in two construction work zones:\u00a0I-275 from 38th St. N. to 4th St. N.<\/a> and the Howard Frankland Bridge<\/a> between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.<\/p>\n The new speed limit will be 55 MPH for both work zones.<\/p>\n In a news release, FDOT said: “The speed reduction will help ensure a consistent and clear speed for all drivers along the I-275 corridor throughout each project limits. Please remember to slow down, stay alert, and drive safely through work zones.”<\/p>\n Spectrum Bay News 9 Traffic Expert Tim Wronka will have more on the speed limit change Wednesday during his Getting There report that begins airing at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drivers who regularly use the Howard Frankland Bridge should be aware of changes announced by the Florida Department…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[274,2173,276,115,596,275,202,204,203,199,201,200,135,278,729],"class_list":["post-68580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-app-top-stories","tag-app-traffic-transit","tag-hillsborough-county","tag-news","tag-pinellas-county","tag-spectrum-news-staff","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news","tag-tampa","tag-top-stories","tag-traffic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
