DENVER — A water main break in southwest Denver closed a section of S. Sheridan Boulevard between W. Florida and Mexico Avenues Thursday morning.
Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber went out there around 3 a.m. Thursday where a construction worker on scene told him, crews were finishing up restoration after water started bubbling up Wednesday.
They were about to put more asphalt down to pave the road when the water main broke again, the construction worker told Luber.
Denver Water came on scene Thursday to turn the water off and dig the road back up to do more repairs.
Luber expects the road to be closed for the better part of Thursday if not into Friday, which Denver Water confirmed. Crews would be on scene repairing a 6-inch pipe all of Thursday to restore water to 43 customers who were impacted by the main break, Denver water said. Road repairs will happen overnight.
Drivers are asked to avoid the area in the meantime.
