JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A water main break sent water gushing across San Jose Boulevard Tuesday morning near Orange Picker Road.
The break occurred at a construction site for a new Daily’s convenience store before 9 a.m. A spokesperson for JEA said a third party contractor on San Jose Boulevard was doing work when they hit the water main.
Northbound traffic was diverted onto Marbon Road, but one southbound lane reopened at 11 a.m.

Rise: A Real Estate Company President Greg Blais says the company’s construction of The Julington apartment community is just the first of many developments it envisions in Northeast Florida.
“We are here to take advantage of the growth that Jacksonville has enjoyed and is projected to continue to enjoy,” Blais said at the project’s Jan. 26 groundbreaking ceremony.
“You’re going to see a lot of banners that say Rise on them in the coming years because we are really focused on the Jacksonville area.”
Construction on the 260-unit project at 12397 San Jose Blvd. is expected to take 18 months, with apartments delivered in phases up to that point.
Rise: A Real Estate Company assembled multiple properties in Mandarin for construction of The Julington, a 260-unit apartment development at 12397 San Jose Blvd.
Duval County Clerk of Courts records show that Rise, through Mandarin Properties I LLC, paid $3.4 million for four vacant properties Dec. 11 and another vacant site July 27.
Rise bought the properties, totaling 8.67 acres, from separate owners.
American Momentum Bank of Tampa is financing the project with a $29.7 million mortgage.
The city approved three permits Dec. 7 for Rise to build The Julington at a construction cost of almost $27.2 million.
The city issued a permit Dec. 3 for the $1.7 million site-clearing and horizontal development for the apartments.
