BRADENTON, Fla. — The Bradenton Police Department said a ruptured sewer line is causing a road closure in Bradenton on Monday afternoon.

Police said 9th Street West is closed between 6th Avenue West and Manatee Avenue. Crews are working to repair the sewer line, but officials expect the closure to last until 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Drivers can expect delays in this area until the road opens. In the meantime, drivers are asked to use the following detours:

  • Southbound on 9th Street detour onto Manatee Ave
  • Northbound on 9th Street detour onto 6th Ave

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
