South Road Closed Between Hartwell Road and Evergreen Ave

Compiled by The Bedford Citizen

According to the Bedford Police a water main break has closed South Road between Hartwell Road and Evergreen Avenue on Tuesday morning. Kudos to the DPW for their speedy resolution of the problem so that South Road could reopen to afternoon rush hour traffic

DPW Director David Manugian said in a telephone interview this morning that the break caused a drop in water pressure for many residents beyond the immediate area of the break, and that a depression in the pavement pointed to its actual location near 200 South Road.

Water service in the immediate area was turned off, some 30 to 40 houses were without water.

Editor’s Note: This story has been revised because the water main was repaired before Tuesday afternoon’s rush hour along South Road.
