Kirkwood Road is closed between Washington Blvd and 14th Street N. due to a significant water main break.
Crews have been working on the break since last night and “scores of customers could be affected,” said Arlington’s Dept. of Environmental Services. Among those reported to be affected by the water outage is George Mason University’s Arlington campus.
Video posted of the scene shows a large hole in the roadway filled with roiling, cloudy water.
