A major water main break forced road closures near the National Mall over the weekend, leaving crews scrambling to make repairs before the crush of the Monday morning commute.
The 24-inch-diameter main on Constitution Avenue broke Friday evening, causing extensive road damage. The break closed Constitution Avenue between 9th Street NW and 12th Street NW, according to the D.C. Department of Transportation and D.C. Water. Tenth Street NW was also closed from Constitution Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue.
