From the Pinellas County Government:

January 7, 2021

A full closure of the Howard Frankland Bridge scheduled for this weekend has been postponed.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) had planned to close all I-275 travel lanes on the bridge from 8 p.m. Saturday through noon Sunday to remove the Fourth Street North bridge, but that work will not happen at this time.

FDOT announced early Thursday that the closure has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances and that the department is working with the project contractor to reschedule the operation. The removal of the Fourth Street North bridge is part of the Gateway Expressway project.
