Construction on southbound Interstate 75 in Hillsborough County is causing a traffic backup for miles.

RIVERVIEW, Fla. — Crews performing maintenance work on southbound Interstate 75 over the Alafia River reopened the blocked lanes to traffic.

The earlier work on the highway road surface reduced the highway down to two lanes Monday afternoon, causing a bottleneck and backing up traffic near the Selmon Expressway, traffic cameras show.

The work site was located just north of Gibsonton Drive.

The Florida Department of Transportation earlier confirmed maintenance repairs were ongoing.

Traffic delays are possible through the evening rush hour.
