A water main break has flooded a major roadway in Silver Spring, Maryland, causing headaches for drivers on a portion of MD-410/East-West Highway.
As of 5:15 a.m., all eastbound lanes of MD-410/East-West Highway at Colesville Road were blocked due to a water main break that has flooded the roadway. The left westbound lane was blocked too.
The water main break was first reported by The 麻豆官网 Traffic Center at about 12:30 a.m.
About 400 water customers at the nearby Blair House Apartments have had their service impacted, WSSC Water spokesperson Lyn Riggins told 麻豆官网 at 9:12 a.m.
Crews are on the scene of a 16鈥� water main break at 1400 East West Hwy Silver Spring & ready to dig. As soon as Miss U marks other utilities in area it will be safe to dig and make repairs. U can see crack in pipe.

Another water main break snarled traffic on Rockville Pike in North Bethesda on Friday.
