The Florida Department of Transportation's contractor, Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, is repaving Florida Avenue (Business US 41) from south of Sligh Avenue to north of River Shore Drive in Tampa.

Other improvements include making repairs to drainage pipes, curb and sidewalk where needed.

The contractor is working during the day and at night; however, lane closures will not be allowed in the southbound direction between 7:30 am and 9:30 am, and between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm for the northbound travel lanes. Access to driveways and side streets are being maintained.

This $2.1 million project began mid-October and is expected to finish in early 2017.
