Northbound Florida Avenue Still Closed

Motorists are being asked to detour around a construction zone.

Land O' Lakes commuters who use Florida Avenue to get home at night might want to take note. A water main break on northbound Florida Avenue is expected to keep the roadway closed to traffic at least through Thursday afternoon. According to the Tampa Water Department, all northbound lanes between Fowler and Fletcher avenues remain closed this morning for water main repairs. Through traffic is being routed to Fowler Avenue to bypass the construction zone. The detour begins at 131st Avenue for residents of the area. At this point, Tampa Water officials think the roadway will be ready for traffic again by Thursday, Dec. 13 around 3:30 p.m. That estimate, however, depends on how quickly repairs and road restoration progress.

Northbound Florida Avenue Closed to Traffic

It is unclear at this time when the roadway will open.

A water main break is to blame for the northbound lanes of Florida Avenue being closed just south of Fletcher Avenue this afternoon. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, all northbound lanes are closed to traffic from 131st to Fletcher. It is unclear when the lanes will reopen or how far south traffic might be backed up at this time. Motorists are being asked to take alternative routes during their afternoon commutes. Stay with Patch for more details as they become available.
