"It's apparently a water main break, but it could be just a valve," Kocher said in a phone interview. "Depending on what the problem is, we might have to keep the bridge closed for safety reasons; they're calling for icing tonight, and crews will be out there working."
Kocher said the extent of the damage and the scope of the work won't be known until crews can get in and assess the situation.
