BEVERLY — A significant water main break at the intersection of Bridge St. and Doanne Ave. in Ryal Side has led to partial road collapse, forcing local authorities to shut down the area for safety concerns, the Beverly Police Department reported.
Residents should brace for water service disruptions expected to last for an extended period.
The break, which was reported early in the morning, has already prompted the Department of Public Works (DPW) to initiate urgent repairs.
To manage the situation and facilitate the flow of traffic, detours have been established around the affected zone.
Commuters are advised to follow the detour signs and avoid the intersection until further notice.
DPW crews are working diligently to address the water main break and restore normalcy to the area.
