Utility Line Failure Causes Eastbound Live Oak Shutdown
It is unclear how long the road will remain closed.
The Tarpon Springs City Manager's Office reports that the eastbound lane of Live Oak Street has been closed down between Safford and Pinellas avenues. Westbound traffic has been reduced to one lane.
Officials say the closure is due to a utility line failure that created a hole in the road that 6 feet deep and 8 feet in diameter. They are recommending using detours.
