New York’s Staten Island. During Monday morning rush hour on Staten Island, a portion of Morningstar Road in Elm Park is shut due to a water main break.
Situated in the shadow of the Bayonne Bridge, Morningstar Road is a significant access road to the Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway.
According to a spokesperson, the city’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is attempting to address the issue.
Around 8:30 a.m., the spokesperson stated that DEP personnel were on the scene and had turned off the water. To locate the leak’s origin, workers are currently excavating.
From Richmond Terrace to Lasalle Street, Morningstar is obstructed.
At the intersection of Morningstar and Richmond Terrance, traffic is backed up.
Caution tape has been placed throughout the closed areas along Morningstar, and police are on the scene.
Slush from last week’s storm is combining with water from the leak on the road.
More details will be released as they become available because this is a developing story.
