Crews Dig Up Road In Denver Water Main Break

DENVER (CBS4) - A water main break Wednesday morning has one block of a Denver neighborhood closed.

It happened before 6 a.m. in the 1700 block of East Cornell Avenue. Denver Water was on scene, pulling up the road and digging through the ground to reach the broken 12-inch wide pipe.

The pipe is being cut and a roughly 10-foot section will be removed. It will be replaced with a new pipe and homes in the area should be able to get water within two to three hours.

Road repairs are expected to take longer.
