All northbound State Route 75 lanes were back open Wednesday morning after an overnight water main break in Coronado.
A water main leak left more than a foot of water in traffic and bike lanes, Coronado Police said.
A Sig Alert was issued Tuesday evening for northbound State Route 75 from Fiddler's Cove to the Naval Base as crews tried to shut off the leak. Both northbound lanes at Fiddler's Cove and the Bayshore Bikeway were closed due to the leak.
The leak happened at approximately 4:40 p.m. Tuesday and was shut off less than an hour later, though the water remained for much longer. Drivers were diverted back to Imperial Beach until the water subsided.
Cal Am Water crews were able to dig down to the cast iron main and stop the flooding. There is still about 6 to 10 feet of pipe to replace before water is fully restored.
The cause of the leak is under investigation.
CPD said the leak and large quantity of water is at a dangerous place.
Local
By 8 p.m., all northbound lanes of the Silver Strand were reopened, though the bike lane remained closed between Fidder's Cove and the base.
