MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — A water main break early Friday morning in Miami Beach prompted repairs near the Miami Beach Convention Center and led to a boil water notice for one residential building, a city spokesperson told Local 10 News.
Miami Beach spokesperson Melissa Berthier confirmed that the water main break happened around 3 a.m. at the intersection of Prairie Avenue and Dade Boulevard, north of the convention center.
Sky 10 flew over the scene around 10:40 a.m., where workers were seen digging up pavement to get to the water main as heavy traffic backed up in the area.
Berthier said only one residential building was placed under a boil water notice, while service in surrounding areas remained otherwise unaffected.
Berthier also confirmed that public works crews are “actively making repairs, which requires excavating a section of the roadway,” and said there is no sinkhole in the area.
Officials also urged drivers to avoid the intersection as repair work gets underway.
They said repairs were expected to be completed by the end of the day Friday.
