A portion of Bradley Boulevard in Bethesda, Maryland, will be closed Tuesday for an “extended period of time” after a water main break flooded the street and damaged the roadway, according to Montgomery County officials.

The break has caused significant flooding near the Bradley Shopping Center and has shut down Bradley Boulevard from Arlington Road to Hillandale Road. Road closures may spread to other nearby streets, according to Montgomery County police.

WSSC Water told 海角社区app that they have shut off the water to a broken pipe that that is 20 inches in diameter. WSSC Water crews are still on the scene, and police told drivers to avoid the area and expect delays.

The utility said that it is still determining how many customers are impacted by the water main break.

Photos shared by police and the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service showed the extent of the flooding.
