Expect Lane Closures On Gandy Boulevard This Week

TAMPA, FL - Motorists can expect short intermittent lane closures along eastbound and westbound Gandy Boulevard as crews conduct pre-construction activities for the Selmon Extension. The work began Sunday and the lane closures will continue through Friday, Jan. 26. The lane closures will allow contractors to complete geotechnical boring in the area, according to project officials.

There will be minor traffic disruptions for motorists. Construction activities that will not impact traffic include relocating utility poles, the removal of roots and stumps, excavation and erosion control to prepare for the construction and maintenance of the highway.

Both the Gandy Park South on the southside of Gandy Boulevard and the Al Palonis Park on the north side of Gandy Boulevard are closed for the duration of the Selmon Extension construction, project officials said.

The Gandy Boat ramp will remain open. Watch for sudden stops, merging traffic and work zone operations, officials said.
