Drivers in Coral Ridge Isles on E. Commercial Boulevard experienced delays last night as city crews worked to repair a water leak. The City of Fort Lauderdale reported that repair work near 1781 E. Commercial Boulevard began at 9 p.m., resulting in lane closures. Only two westbound lanes remained open during the work, which affected traffic flow in the area.

The repair work was completed by 5 a.m. today, and all lanes were reopened to traffic. The turn lane into the Shoppes at 18th & Commercial, which had been temporarily closed during the repairs, is now fully operational, allowing right turns that were not possible during the work hours.

Residents affected by the temporary lane closures could contact a helpline at 954-828-8000 with questions or concerns. Updates were provided online to keep the public informed throughout the repair process.
