CAPE CORAL, Fla. A 20-inch irrigation main break Monday morning blocked northbound traffic on a stretch of Country Club Boulevard, city officials said.
The break caused reclaimed water to spill on the road and nearby homes near the 3200 block of the road, according to city officials. The irrigation main break damaged approximately 25 to 30 feet of the right northbound lane, as well as a stretch of sidewalks.
The roadblock between 33rd and 34th terraces is expected to last through the night, city spokeswoman Connie Barron said. But it should clear in time for most morning commutes, according to crews on scene.
Crews are working to repair the main break and fix the damage to the road, city officials said.
The circumstances leading up to the break, the amount of reclaimed water spilled and whereabouts of a new traffic pattern were unclear.
