Gandy Boulevard Closing for Railroad Crossing Work - Friday, May 17

Tampa, FL - Beginning at 9 p.m., Friday, May 17, CSX will close Gandy Boulevard between S. Dale Mabry Highway and Lois Avenue in South Tampa. This closure is necessary for CSX to replace the railroad crossing located just west of S. Dale Mabry Highway.

Gandy Boulevard is expected to reopen by 6 a.m., Monday, May 20, weather permitting. During this closure, motorists will not be able to cross the CSX tracks or have access to the Gandy Boulevard entrance ramps onto the Selmon Expressway. Motorists will be detoured around the work zone using S. Dale Mabry Highway, Interbay Boulevard, and Westshore Boulevard. Access to side streets and businesses will be maintained.

Electronic message boards and detour signs will be used to assist motorists traveling through the detour. Motorists should anticipate heavier than normal volumes of traffic on these roads during this CSX closure.
