TAMPA, Fla. — Drivers heading north on South 50th Street should prepare for delays over the next few days.

Starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, the Tampa Water Department shut down the outside northbound lane between South 16th Avenue and South 20th Avenue to repair a broken water main.

Crews are on-site now, and barricades are in place to guide traffic around the work zone. Officials are asking motorists to slow down and stay alert while navigating the shifted lanes.
