A daytime lane closure is in effect on Bruce B Downs Boulevard in Tampa. The outside southbound lane is shut down between East Fowler Avenue and University Square Drive. The Tampa Water Department closed the lane to finish surface restoration work on the roadway following earlier maintenance on the local water distribution system.

Barricades and detour signs are in place to guide cars safely around the work zone. City officials are asking commuters to consider taking an alternate route and to use extra caution when driving through the area. The lane closure is expected to be in effect until 4 p.m. today, weather permitting.
