(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- A 12-inch water main broke along Rickenbacker Causeway in the Hobie Beach area Tuesday afternoon. A car was stuck earlier in a sinkhole formed by the break, but the car has since been pulled out.
The cause of the water main break has not yet been determined. Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) crews are on the scene to assess the damage and make repairs. Repairs are expected to take until about 9:00 p.m. tonight. Two of three eastbound lanes (going in towards Virginia Key and Key Biscayne) will be closed to traffic, to allow workers to effect repairs.
As of 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, there were no reports of lost water service on Virginia Key or Key Biscayne.
