Downtown Traffic, Transit Disrupted As Water Main Break Response Continues
A water main break below the Howard Street tunnel Monday caused chaos for commuters by road and rail, halted freight and even led to a partial train derailment. Three workers have been hurt while trying to fix the break.
On Monday morning, water covered freight rail tracks near M&T Bank Stadium and the area around a stadium loading dock. The 12-inch main broke somewhere in the area of Pratt and Howard or Pratt and Camden streets, a city public works spokesman said.

Pratt St is now CLOSED btwn Paca & Sharp Sts
