Howard Frankland Bridge back open after overpass removal on Pinellas side
Briona Arradondo reports
LARGO, Fla. - Update: All lanes open on the Howard Franklin Bridge. Crews were able to successfully remove the 4th Street N bridge overpass over I-275 three hours ahead of schedule. The Southbound I-275 Exit 32 (4th St N) will now remain closed until late 2021 while crews construct a new ramp in the same location. The reason for the new ramp is to accomodate the widening of I-275.
The Howard Frankland Bridge will temporarily close in both directions this weekend for crews to remove a bridge in Pinellas County as part of a major infrastructure project.
