North Highland Avenue Temporary Road Closure To Be Extended

The closure at North Highland Avenue between West Frierson Avenue and West Haya Street that began Tuesday, Feb. 15, has been extended.

Due to unanticipated pipe conditions, crews need to secure the existing old pipeline to ensure reliable water service until new water lines can be installed.

The sidewalks in the work area will be closed during construction. Pedestrians will be detoured to other available sidewalks with signage.

Weather permitting, North Highland Avenue between West Frierson Avenue and West Haya Street will be open to traffic by 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 25, 2022.

The City of Tampa recommends that motorists use alternate routes to avoid traffic congestion.
