Water main break closes off parts of downtown Tampa street, city crews say
TAMPA, Fla. - A water main break caused parts of North Jefferson Street to shut down in downtown Tampa on Monday, and crews said it could take two days to complete repairs.
The City of Tampa said all lanes on North Jefferson Street are closed between East Kennedy Boulevard and East Twiggs Street. The Tampa Water Department is working to repair the water main break.
Barricades and signs are set up in the area to assist the traffic flow in that portion of downtown, according to city officials. Drivers are asked to use caution or avoid the area.
