The outside lane of northbound Veterans Expressway is now open at Hutchison Road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Repairs continue along the median and inside lane.

The closure was at mile marker 12, just south of the Hutchison Road overpass in Tampa.

Officials say road crews were installing cables for a DOT traffic camera and burrowed underneath the road to reach power.

Rain in the area washed away part of the road. The hole is approximately 12 feet long, 3 to 4 feet wide and 3 feet deep.

Crews plan to drain the water and fill the hole.
