Work on Silver Spring Water Main Break Continues Friday on Georgia Avenue

Work is continuing at a major intersection in downtown Silver Spring on Friday -- and traffic delays continue as well.

Repairs on a broken water main at Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road are still ongoing, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) tweeted Friday.

In the meantime, expect continued traffic delays, or bypass the area. Only one northbound lane of Colesville is open, and two southbound lanes of Georgia, WSSC tweeted.

The area will be repaved Saturday. All customers have water, WSSC said.

The 16-inch main broke Wednesday evening in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, sending tens of thousands of gallons of water surging toward the nearby Metro station. The break flooded streets and sidewalks, and led to closed lanes on both Georgia and Colesville.
