Published August 6, 2007
1. Interstate 275, St. Petersburg: Workers will continue "rehabilitating" I-275's concrete surface from Fifth Avenue S to 26th Avenue S through August, cutting out slabs that are in bad condition and replacing them. They'll close lanes as needed between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 2. Interstate 175, downtown St. Petersburg: They'll work on the concrete on I-175 from I-275 to Fourth Street. Expect lane closures mostly at night, but possibly some during the day. 3. I-275 in Tampa: This massive, yearslong highway widening project is to start Aug. 13, with the first phase between Himes Avenue and Ashley Drive. 4. Fletcher Avenue, Tampa: Fletcher is expected to remain closed for a couple weeks just east of I-275 while CSX replaces a railroad crossing and raises the roadbed around it. Contractors are working 12-hour days and weekends to finish by Aug. 19.
