Drivers trying to get off Miami Beach or heading up toward Surfside, Bal Harbour and beach municipalities north of Miami Beach on Thursday morning found themselves in a sticky -- err, wet -- situations.
Authorities closed off all but one lane for a few blocks around 29th Street as flooding tied up traffic.
City workers say the connector between a water main and the fire hydrant in front of Triton Tower, 2899 Collins Ave., blew as a crew worked on the fire hydrant.
The building flooded, and so did the street, which was one way northbound at that point.
