Possible sewage line break snarls traffic on John Young Parkway in Hunter’s Creek<\/p>\n

\"Brandon\"Gail<\/a>ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

One southbound lane of John Young Parkway in Hunter’s Creek was back open by the time of this writing after crews worked to resolve a possible sewer line break at Teal Point Drive on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It was around 4 p.m. when Orange County Fire Rescue got a call about water in the roadway at the intersection. It turns out it was a possible sewer line break, firefighters said. <\/p>\n

The break was in the middle of the road and went completely across John Young Parkway near a shopping area.<\/p>\n

When firefighters arrived, crews observed the roadway was actually fluctuating and that the pavement had risen.<\/p>\n

For citizen safety and to avoid the development of a sinkhole, both northbound and southbound lanes of John Young Parkway were shut down for several hours. Traffic was diverted to Town Center Boulevard.<\/p>\n

“Very stressful because after a day, a whole day of work, to face this kind of thing it’s really stressful,” said Marcos Cavalcante, a motorist.<\/p>\n

Around 7 p.m., crews did open up two southbound lanes. At the time of this report, the water company and drainage employees were still working to fix the issue, which appears to be a break in a 24-inch pipe. <\/p>\n

WESH 2 News went to the scene, where it appeared a brownish liquid was coming up and out of the intersection. <\/p>\n

The cause of the possible sewage line break has not yet been disclosed. <\/p>\n
