Water main break on Old Cutler Road impacts traffic for hours
A water main break in Cutler Bay that flooded neighborhood streets spilled out to Old Cutler Road and caused major traffic delays during morning rush hour traffic Tuesday.
The source of the leak was at Southwest 212th Street and Old Cutler Road, Detective Aregemis Colome, a Miami-Dade police spokesman, said.
Photos from the scene showed residential streets covered in water, and witnesses say traffic slowed to a standstill, particularly at the traffic circle at Southwest 97th Avenue.
Jennifer Messemer-Skold, spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department, said the 12-inch underground pipe was reported leaking around 8:15 a.m. and was repaired at 11 a.m.
Messemer-Skold said traffic was impacted from Southwest 212th Street to 216th Street.
