UPDATE: The break in the eight-inch line was discovered after water was observed on the roadway this morning. Due to nearby power, water and gas lines, Los Alamos National Laboratory workers are reportedly unable to use a backhoe to excavate the pipe and most of the work will be done manually for the safety of workers on the scene. The road is down to just one lane in the eastbound direction.
News Alert:
A non-DPU water line break has impacted the roadway on East Jemez near the Los Alamos Transit Mix station.

The Los Alamos Police Department has received reports that the eastbound traffic will be blocked beginning at 6 p.m. today lasting until 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 3. No downhill traffic will be allowed during this time and only westbound (uphill traffic) will be allowed.
Drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible. Updates will be provided as more information develops.
