CAPE CORAL, Fla. A portion of Country Club Boulevard remained closed Tuesday morning following a 20-inch irrigation main break.

The northbound lanes of Country Club Boulevard are shut down at 34th Terrace and will remain closed until Wednesday. Traffic is being diverted around the closure.

The break happened on Monday morning and damaged a portion of the road and sidewalks, city officials said. The water pipe was repaired after heavy rain caused the ground to shift and the pipe to burst.

Crews dug 10 inches into the ground to replace the old roadway and will fill it in with a base layer, city officials said. The top layer of the roadway is scheduled to be installed Wednesday.

Drinking water was not affected and did not impact nearby residents.
