A significant water main rupture has led to road closures and traffic disruptions in South Portland, creating a challenging situation for drivers and residents alike.
Specifically, Ocean Street is currently shut down between Broadway and Highland Avenue due to this incident. Additionally, sections of Broadway are also not accessible between Ocean Street and Cottage, further complicating travel in the area.
The Portland Water District is actively working to address the issue and restore normalcy as quickly as possible.
As a reminder, it’s advisable for motorists to anticipate delays and seek alternative routes during this time.
