A ruptured water main has shut down a heavily traveled road in Boynton Beach on Wednesday morning.
City officials said the 16-inch water main at Boynton Beach Boulevard and Lawrence Road broke at approximately 2 a.m.
A tractor trailer then drove into what appeared to be a sinkhole near the water main, but the driver was not hurt.
Aerial video from WPTV Chopper 5 just before 6:30 a.m. showed the tractor trailer on its side and water gushing from a large hole in the road.
WPTVWorkers are now in the process of fixing the broken water main.
The east and westbound lanes of Boynton Beach Boulevard, along with the north and southbound lanes of Lawrence Road, are shut down.
Drivers are advised to take Gateway Boulevard or Woolbright Road to go east and west, and Congress Avenue or Military Trail to head north and south.
