Authorities in Davie, Florida, responded to a water main break near the Grande Oaks Golf Course on Wednesday night that resulted in significant roadway damage and ongoing traffic disruptions, according to a release from WSVN Miami.
The incident impacted the northbound lanes of Pine Island Road, prompting emergency road closures and detours in the surrounding area as municipal crews and law enforcement personnel assessed the structural integrity of the affected asphalt and subsurface infrastructure.
Incident Overview
According to Davie Police, the water main break occurred on Wednesday night near the Grande Oaks Golf Course, creating immediate structural hazards on the roadway. Aerial footage captured by 7Drone Force revealed a small sinkhole had formed at the 3300 block of Pine Island Road as a result of the underground pipe failure and subsequent soil erosion.
Although the primary water main was repaired, municipal and police officials kept the roadway closed on Thursday morning to accommodate ongoing safety inspections and repair work. All northbound traffic in the affected corridor was forced to divert west or execute U-turns to bypass the closure zone between Southwest 36th Street and Southwest 30th Street.
