TAMPA, Fla — The Courtney Campbell Causeway was reopened after police shut it down in both directions on Sunday.

The Tampa Police Department said the Courtney Campbell Causeway was closed in both directions from the Veterans Expressway. Eastbound traffic into Tampa from Clearwater is also being diverted.
