Water Main Break Disrupts Traffic on SR 70, Additional Lane Closures Possible

A water main break has caused the closure of the westbound curbside lane of State Road 70 (53rd Avenue) between 33rd Street East and 30th Street East. The incident occurred earlier today and resulted in localized flooding and traffic disruptions in the affected area.

Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, as the presence of floodwaters may lead to additional lane closures. Road crews are actively working to assess the extent of the damage and initiate necessary repairs to restore normal traffic flow.

Motorists traveling through the area are strongly advised to seek alternative routes to avoid potential delays and congestion. Officials have indicated that repair work may take some time, depending on the severity of the break and water infiltration in the roadway.
