Broken water main snarls traffic

An early-morning water main break on the city’s west side created a mess for the Monday morning commute. Water was spilling onto 16th Street near Tibbs Avenue for hours. Crews shut down one lane of traffic, but frigid temperatures caused the water to freeze, creating slick spots drivers had to navigate around. Veolia Water officials told Fox59 crews they hope to have the area open in time for the evening rush hour.
