THE ROAD, IN MIDTOWN.IT'S NEAR

15TH AND PEORIA--- AND FOX23

FOUND OUT OVERNIGHT IT WAS

CAUSED BY A BROKEN SEWER LINE.

FOX23'S JENNY YOUNG IS LIVE,

WITH A LOOK AT THE SCENE, AND

HOW LONG YOU'LL WANT TO AVOID

THE AREA.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO

TURN EAST FROM PEORIA ONTO

15TH THAT HOLE IS RIGHT THERE

BY THE STOP LIGHT AND THEY

HAVE BOTH EAST BOUND LANES

BLOCKED OFF ---FOR ABOUT 250

FEET. THEY ALSO HAVE ONE OF

THE WEST BOUND LANES CLOSED.

WE'VE SEEN THEM CHIPPING AWAY

AT THE PAVEMENT NOW THEY'VE

CALLED OUT AN EXCAVATION CREW

WHO IS USING A SAW TO SAW A

HUGE CHUNK

THESE GUYS

ARE OUT HERE BUNDLED UP

WORKING IN THE COLD AND HAVE

BEEN OUT HERE SINCE 11 LAST

NIGHT. AND TELL ME THEY'LL BE

OUT HERE THROUGHOUT THE

AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLE LONGER.

THEY TELL ME THE SEWER LINE

BROKE LOOSE FROM A MAIN LINE

--- IT COULVE BEEN BROKEN FOR

A LONG TIME BUT IT'S JUST NOW

CREATED THE HOLE.

THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN

ACITVE SEWER LINE, THEY'LL

HAVE TO WAIT BUSSINESSES

AROUND HERE TO OPEN UP SO THEY

CAN TEST TO FIND OUT

WE'RE GETTING

A LOOK AT SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
