South Tampa residents and those who use Bayshore Boulevard to commute to work are in for another morning of delays.

"Traffic backing up on Bayshore at Howard," the Tampa Police Department said via Twitter.

The road is closed in both directions from Howard Avenue to Platt Street while crews work to remove debris from the road. The debris was washed onto Bayshore Boulevard yesterday during Tropical Storm Andrea.

TPD has some advice for driver this morning: "Avoid Bayshore Blvd or you may be late to work."

You can check current traffic conditions and find alternate routes on our Traffic page.
