TAMPA, Fla — There's nothing like starting your week with a detour.
The Florida Department of Transportation says all the lanes of I-275 are back open after some overnight construction.
Both directions of I-275 were closed earlier Monday morning for the work. One southbound lane of I-275 reopened just after 7:30 a.m. between West Shore Boulevard and SR-60.
Here is a list of impacted detours:
