TAMPA, Fla. - All lanes of the Howard Frankland Bridge are now open. 

The northbound lanes of the bridge closed around 4:30 a.m. on Monday as portions of the shoulder and roadway washed out on the Hillsborough County side. 

Howard Frankland Bridge battered by waves

The Florida Highway Patrol says the northbound lanes of the Howard Frankland Bridge were closed early Monday morning because of heavy waves and debris coming onto the highway.

The Florida Department of Transportation says a contractor was paving the roadway on Wednesday morning. The goal was to have the bridge open late Wednesday, and it opened around 4:20 p.m.
