Water Main Break Causes Road to Buckle in Rosslyn

A water main break has closed 19th Street N. between N. Kent Street and Arlington Ridge Road in Rosslyn.

Arlington County crews have stopped the flow of water from the break, but not before part of 19th Street buckled upward due to the pressure of the water.

The road closure is not otherwise impacting traffic in Rosslyn, which has been relatively light this week. No word yet on when the road may reopen.
