Что-то, очень серьезное. Прорвало.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Crews said a section of Northeast Sandy Boulevard will remain closed for days after a water main break Wednesday afternoon.
The road will remain closed between Northeast 122nd and Northeast 138th avenues until further notice.
The Portland Water Bureau said drivers can use Northeast Airport Way or Northeast Halsey Street to get around the closure.
Crews remained on the scene Wednesday to repair the water main. Meanwhile, the Oregon Department of Transportation said they’re making preparations to repair the “significant damage” that occurred to Northeast Sandy Boulevard, including the hiring of a contractor to fix the road surface and subsurface.
According to the bureau, a 16-inch water pipe ruptured, causing water to flow into the immediate area.
Crews onsite immediately worked to shut down the water and make repairs.
Portland Fire & Rescue said water had flown into the parking lots of nearby apartment complexes although no units were damaged. No injuries were reported either.
It is unknown at this time how many customers may be out of water although the Portland Water Bureau confirmed that some multifamily units are affected. One apartment complex had its water service restored Wednesday night, while two small businesses were still without water.
Customers in the area may be experiencing dirty water and/or low pressure at their home. The discoloration does not pose a health risk; however, the bureau said customers should avoid using tap water or running the washing machine or dishwasher until the repair is complete.
No exact estimate was given as to when all repairs to the roadway and sidewalks in the area would be completed.
Видео там тоже есть.
Посмотрите, что там с дорогой произошло. Впервые, — за все мои 15 лет, что я здесь, — вижу такое.
А еще обещают завтра ветер сильный. Провода обещает рвать электрические.
