Water main break closes key highway in downtown San Diego

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Northbound lanes of Interstate 5 in San Diego were closed Monday after a water main break flooded the key highway that runs through downtown. The pipeline burst Sunday evening and city crews shut down pipes feeding the area around 1 a.m. Monday. The highway, on- and off-ramps and surrounding streets remained flooded at midday. Officials say drains were overloaded. Three northbound lanes finally reopened Monday night. However, an exit to San Diego International Airport remained closed and there’s no estimate of when it will reopen.
