Water main ruptures in Alexandria
Updated 12:11 p.m:
A Saturday morning water main break in Alexandria closed Seminary Road in both directions between N. Jordan St. and Howard St., and caused low water pressure in the neighborhood, according the city’s web site and a spokesman for the Virginia American Water company.
The 12-inch main broke at about 3:30 a.m., said water company spokesman David Barney. He said repairs were underway and the main could be fixed by Saturday afternoon.

Too bad they spelled the detour sign 'Detore', I just had to shake my head in amazement.

24 hours after the break occurred, has it been repaired?
