At this time, crews do not have an estimate on when the break will be repaired.

The City is advising travelers to avoid the area. There is no through-traffic between NE 11^th and 13^th Avenues on Multnomah. A flagger is on-scene directing traffic to a detour.

Drivers should use caution while driving in the area. Keep your distance from crews, give flaggers plenty of space, and slow down when traveling through work zones.

Water service impacts

Water service is impacted for many homes and businesses in the area, including Lloyd Center and Lloyd Regal Lloyd Cinemas. Impacted customers may be out of water or asked to boil water for the duration of the repair. If you have yellow or brown water at your tap and are impacted by a discolored water event, there is guidance on the City's website. Learn what do to about low water press or discolored water on the Water Quality Line web page.
