Water-main break causes sinkhole on Morena Boulevard, roads expected to reopen Saturday
A sinkhole prompted a closure on Thursday at a major intersection in San Diego’s Morena area, the City of San Diego said.
The cause of the sinkhole was a water-main break located at Morena Boulevard and Napa Street, according to the city.
Main repairs on the pipes were expected to be completed by Friday evening. Should those repairs be completed as expected, the closed roads would reopen Saturday morning, the city announced on X on Friday.
Due to the extensive time the repairs are expected to take, City Spokesperson Jennifer McBride told NBC 7, the city would send a boil water notice to the 10 impacted businesses.
Road closures:
- All southbound lanes of Morena Boulevard are closed between West Morena Blvd. and Linda Vista Road.
- One northbound lane is closed between Linda Vista Road and Cushman Ave.
Road closures will remain in place until repairs are made.
Impacted businesses can receive water wagons in the 900 block of Morena Blvd., the city said. Water bottles are also available.
Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area during the closures.
