MAYPORT, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office closed a road along A1A in the Mayport area late Thursday evening.
Officials said Ocean Street was closed due to the road collapsing and washout, but when News4JAX arrived Friday morning, we found the road intact.

It appears water on the road had prevented drivers from passing, but the road wasn’t damaged, although the right lane of A1A remained closed.
