Monday's coverage
Some lanes of Route 1 southbound have reopened. Northbound lanes remain closed.
Edison Water Utility has been working on the repairs since 10 a.m. Monday.
Mayor Sam Joshi said the part of road sank three to four inches as a result of this water main break.
“These are extremely frigid, very rough conditions," said Mayor Sam Joshi. "There's freezing water running through this. You're talking about hundreds and hundreds of gallons per minute that are coming out, and everyone is working very hard right now. Route 1 is just a sheet of ice over here.”
This work expected to be competed at some point today.
