Has the construction at Sheldon Road and Linebaugh Avenue been slowing down your afternoon commute?
Hillsborough County officials hope to have a section of Sheldon Road reopened by tomorrow after a construction crew ruptured a forced-main sewer line on Thursday, county officials said. The ruptured line blew out a large section of the road just south of Linebaugh Avenue.
"They should finish up today and open the road tomorrow," said Steve Valdez, county spokesman.

Crews are letting south-bound traffic through when no work is underway. Northbound lanes are being detoured onto Old Linebaugh Avenue. The accident happened as a subcontractor for the county was installing fiber optic cable, Valdez said.
