Crews continued to work overnight to repair damage to Downtown streets and utilities after the rupture of a 12-inch water main early yesterday morning.

The break at Fort Pitt Boulevard and Wood Street caused water to cascade onto the Parkway East "bathtub" section, nearby streets and sidewalks and into basements of buildings.

The Mon Wharf is closed again today because access to the parking facility is unavailable. Fort Pitt Boulevard and Wood Street also remain closed in the area.
