Franklin Street Closed Between Madison and Twiggs

Water main repairs are being done in downtown Tampa.

If you're driving downtown this week, think about an alternative route around Franklin Street.

That's because both directions of the downtown street are closed between Madison and Twiggs for water main repairs, according to city officials.

The work will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 10. Tampa Water Department crews plan to repair a damaged water main, and will place marked detours in the area.

Traffic will resume by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, July 12, depending on the weather.
