Motorists traveling southbound on I-275 toward the Howard
Frankland Bridge will have to detour off the interstate using SR 60 (Exit 39)
on Wednesday, January 29, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., Thursday, January 30,
weather permitting.
Electronic message boards and temporary signage will assist southbound I-275
motorists traveling around this closure via the posted detour route of
Memorial Highway (SR 60), Courtney Campbell Causeway (SR 60), Bayside Bridge
(CR 611), and Roosevelt Boulevard SR 686).
Other roadways (Kennedy Boulevard, Dale Mabry Highway, and Gandy Boulevard)
will remain accessible and may provide an alternate route if needed.
Motorists should add extra travel time as traffic congestion and delays may
occur while traveling on these roadways during this nighttime detour.
This closure is necessary for crews to install overhead sign structures as
part of the I-275 (Howard Frankland Bridge) new southbound bridge project
between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
