Tampa Tracker

Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across Tampa and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.

Road incidents rose from 146 to 171 last week. Outages rose. Construction and transit have held steady.

Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.

What the map says

Tap a row to see it on the map.

Areas are measured from Tampa City Hall in downtown Tampa: within 2 miles is Downtown Tampa, within 8 miles (about where the Veterans Expressway and the bridges across the bay run) is that side of Tampa, and beyond that is the metro. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown Tampa, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Areas are the cities and towns of Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Plant City and the rest, from the Census Bureau's boundary files. Places that are not incorporated have no area drawn: items there are shown on the metro map.
