Early Morning Incident
A major water main burst at 5:50 a.m. beneath Nelson Avenue in the Bronx led to a heavy street leak that disrupted a residential block. The burst caused flooding and left many residents without running water.
Street Damage and Response
The pressure from the underground rupture lifted and cracked the asphalt, creating uneven patches and buckling along the roadway. Emergency crews quickly arrived to contain the flooding and begin repairs.
Impact on Residents
Local residents reported water gushing from the street and flooding basements. City workers shut off water flow to prevent further damage and began clearing debris from the affected area.
“The street just erupted, and within minutes, water was everywhere,” said one resident describing the chaos that woke up the neighborhood.
Restoration Efforts
Authorities stated that repairs could take several hours, with road access restricted until safety inspections are complete. Temporary water service is expected to be restored through nearby connections.
