January 25, 2025 - The intersection at 5th Avenue and 16th Street North in St. Petersburg is now closed indefinitely after a massive depression formed Wednesday due to a water main leak. While water main repairs have concluded, the Florida Department of Transportation plans to replace a stormwater pipe and reopen the roadway by Jan. 31. City officials expect intermittent closures of 16th Street’s southbound lane at the intersection of 5th Avenue and encourage drivers to use alternate routes.
