Multiple crashes on Interstate-275 are making life miserable for drivers this morning.

A multiple vehicle crash in the southbound lanes of  I-275 at MLK is causing a backup of more than one hour.  Alternate routes are Florida and Nebraska.

A crash in the northbound lanes of I-275 at Ashley Drive is blocking at least one lane. That crash has traffic backed up from the Howard Frankland Bridge to downtown Tampa.  This crash will most likely continue to cause a backup on the Howard Frankland Bridge. Alternate routes are Kennedy or the Selmon.
