Motorists traveling northbound on I-275 towards the Howard Frankland Bridge will have to detour off the interstate using Gandy Boulevard (Exit 28) from 11 p.m. tonight (4/18) to 5 a.m. tomorrow morning (4/19), weather permitting.
Electronic message boards and temporary signage will assist northbound I-275 motorists traveling around this closure via the posted detour route of Roosevelt Boulevard, Gandy Boulevard, and Dale Mabry Highway.
This closure is necessary for crews to install overhead sign structures as part of the Howard Frankland Bridge Replacement Project between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
Other roadways (Roosevelt Boulevard, Bayside Bridge, Courtney Campbell Causeway, and Memorial) will remain accessible and may provide an alternate route if needed.
Motorists should add approximately 30 minutes of travel time as traffic congestion and delays may occur while traveling on these roadways during this nighttime detour.
