Depression Causes U.S. 19 Lane Closing

PALM HARBOR, FL — Pinellas County utility crews are assessing a depression that opened up along U.S. 19 Tuesday afternoon.

According to Pinellas County, a sewer main break in the area of U.S. 19’s eastern most lane, north of Curlew Road, caused a depression to open. The lane will remain closed until further notice.

“Drivers in the area are advised to allow a one-lane clearance to the closed lane as a safety precaution,” the county wrote in an email to media. “Access to businesses in the area of the work will still be available from U.S. 19 and Curlew Road.”

It is unclear how long the assessment and subsequent repairs will take.
