Update #1 - Lane Closures on West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between North Himes Avenue and Tampa Bay Park

Beginning tonight at 9pm, the outside eastbound lane on West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard will close between North Himes Avenue and Tampa Bay Park as the Tampa Water Department conducts maintenance on the water distribution system. Barricades and signs will be located in the area to assist with rerouting and traffic flow. Please use caution when driving in the area. Modifications to lane closures may be necessary during the course of the work.

Completion of the work with a return to normal traffic patterns is expected by 5am, Monday, July 15. 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.
