TAMPA, Fla. — Drivers who cross the Howard Frankland Bridge nightly will have to take a detour overnight Wednesday as the Florida Department of Transportation conducts road work.

FDOT is closing the southbound I-275 travel lanes on the Howard Frankland starting at 11 p.m. on Jan. 29 to 5 a.m. the next day.

Officials said during the overnight hours, crews will install overhead sign structures as part of the I-275 new southbound bridge project between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

Drivers who need to travel overnight will have to detour off the interstate using SR 60 (Exit 39). FDOT will have electronic message boards assisting motorists around the closure via the posted detour route of Memorial Highway, Courtney Campbell Causeway, Bayside Bridge and Roosevelt Boulevard.

Kennedy Boulevard, Dale Mabry Highway and Gandy Boulevard will remain accessible as an alternate route if needed.

FDOT is reminding drivers to add extra travel time as traffic congestion and delays could occur due to the road closure.
