Since Tuesday, June 6, MSD
has been working to replace a collapsed section of 24-inch (diameter)
brick sewer between York Street and Broadway on Seventh Street.
Replacement has progressed from York to Broadway.
Late this morning, an MSD
television inspection crew discovered a large, open cavity under the
eastbound lanes of Broadway. This cavity could be the result of the
collapsed sewer line in Seventh Street.
For public safety reasons,
MSD has immediately begun closing two eastbound lanes on Broadway
between Eighth and Sixth Streets. Temporary eastbound lanes will be
designated from the center/westbound lanes. Seventh Street, between
York and Broadway, will be closed with traffic routed west to Ninth
Street.
Emergency excavation will
begin to repair sewer damage at the intersection of Seventh and
Broadway. No timetable for completion of this work can be predicted at
this time, but work will proceed around the clock.
