FDOT releases update on Howard Frankland Bridge project

June 17, 2023 - Construction crews are making significant progress on the $865.3 million Howard Frankland Bridge replacement project, which is expected to be completed in late 2025 or early 2026. The new bridge will have eight lanes: four will be general use lanes, allowing drivers to travel from Tampa to St. Petersburg, and four will be express lanes. As of this month, roughly 90% of the piling have been driven and the majority of the bridge footings, columns, beams and bridge caps have been installed and completed, according to the state's transportation department. Once the new bridge is completed and traffic is moved to the final alignment, the existing northbound/eastbound (St. Petersburg to Tampa) bridge will be demolished.
