An apparent water main break has caused considerable street flooding and wreaked havoc for commuters Friday morning in the Chinatown area of Boston.
Just before 8 a.m., Boston firefighters said they were still trying to turn the water off. Two of the three lines are off, but one was still gushing water as of then.
The street and sidewalk in the area buckled a bit as a result, which will surely require repairs. The nearby hospital and train station are unaffected, NBC10 Boston is told by officials. Traffic Advisory: Due to ongoing roadwork in response to a Water Main Break, Kneeland Street and Washinton Street, Kneeland Street and Knapp Street, and Stuart Street from Washington Street to Tremont Street will remain closed. Please seek an alternate route.Traffic has been diverted for hours Friday morning from several main and side roads in the area, causing chaos for commuters. Meanwhile, several nearby businesses now have flooding in their basements.
"We've been trapped in so many detours," one commuter said."Here we are trying to get by all this water with my shoes, so it's been a tough morning."
