TAMPA, Fla — All lanes on the Gandy Bridge reopened Monday evening after a brief closure due to what emergency crews thought was going to be a water rescue.
According to Tampa Fire Rescue, the Coast Guard ultimately determined the situation was a "false alarm." Nobody was found in the water.
But, it was a good practice run for first responders. Before realizing nobody was in harm's way, authorities shut down both the eastbound and westbound lanes along the bridge to allow for a response.
Traffic is now moving again.
