Water main break closes 22nd Street N.W. in Foggy Bottom

A water main break on 22nd Street N.W. has closed that street between F street and Virginia Avenue. Eric Hauser of the District Department of Transportation recommends 23rd Street as the most viable alternative for commuters, though he cautions to watch for increased automotive and pedestrian traffic on that street. The D.C. Water and Sewage Authority reports that crews will be repairing the broken 8-inch water main, and notes that some in the area will see their water service disrupted. They estimate that the problem should be resolved by 1 p.m.
