Traffic has become more of a squeeze on Seabreeze Boulevard near Holiday Drive, where both northbound lanes were shut down. The City of Fort Lauderdale reported a 12-inch water main break at the intersection, a development that has drivers navigating a single lane in either direction as repair work presses on. The initial notice of the disruption was posted yesterday afternoon, alerting residents of the lane closure starting at 5 p.m.

Repair crews rushed to the scene to mend the breach in the urban skin of Fort Lauderdale. "City crews are responding to a 12-inch water main break at Seabreeze Boulevard and Holiday Drive. As a precaution, the northbound, easternmost (right) lane of Seabreeze Boulevard is currently closed while repairs are underway to ensure the safety of the drivers and workers," cited the original notice.

Appreciation for public patience was expressed explicitly, emphasizing the city's commitment to swift action and the importance of assuring safety above all. "Thank you for your patience as we work to complete this repair as soon as possible," the city's communication extended.
