BRADENTON, Fla. — The Bradenton Police Department said a ruptured sewer line is causing a road closure in Bradenton on Monday afternoon.
Police said 9th Street West is closed between 6th Avenue West and Manatee Avenue. Crews are working to repair the sewer line, but officials expect the closure to last until 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Drivers can expect delays in this area until the road opens. In the meantime, drivers are asked to use the following detours:
- Southbound on 9th Street detour onto Manatee Ave
- Northbound on 9th Street detour onto 6th Ave
Hillsborough County crews work six days a week to improve stormwater drainage
The ongoing restoration work is part of a larger effort by Hillsborough County Public Works aimed at mitigating flooding risks throughout the area. Officials are hopeful that these improvements will provide a sense of safety during this hurricane season.
