A sinkhole prompted a closure at a major intersection in San Diego’s Morena area on Thursday, the City of San Diego said.
Crews are working to repair a water-main break that caused that sinkhole at Morena Boulevard and Napa Street.
City spokesperson Jennifer McBride told NBC 7 there is not yet a timeline for when the water pressure will be back.
SDG&E has been working to shut down lines in the area, which is expected to take several hours. Upon completion, city crews will be able to access the break and figure out which pipe is affected and fix the damage, McBride told NBC 7.
Due to the extensive time the repairs are expected to take, McBride added that 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.
The city is encouraging drivers to avoid the area.
