PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. –Traffic is moving once again across the Howard Frankland Bridge after emergency crews successfully cleared a multi-lane crash on Interstate 275 North.
The incident, which originally blocked the two right lanes at mile marker 33, had caused immediate bottlenecks for drivers traveling from Pinellas County toward Tampa earlier this evening. Roadway clearings were finalized shortly after the initial traffic surge, and all disabled vehicles and debris have been removed from the highway.
Florida Department of Transportation highway monitoring systems confirm that all lanes are now open to the public.
While minor residual delays may linger for a short period as the remaining backup dissolves and the primary obstruction is removed, normal highway speeds resume across the span. Local authorities have not released any official statements regarding the cause of the collision or whether any injuries occurred.
