One of the busiest intersections in Santa Monica opened this week after it was closed for more than a month.
A water main break that occurred on New Year’s Day caused damage to the intersection of Lincoln Boulevard and Colorado Avenue, resulting in the temporary closure of Lincoln Boulevard from Broadway to the freeway.
Travel on Lincoln Boulevard and Colorado Avenue between Seventh Street and Lincoln Boulevard returned to normal with the opening of all lanes of traffic on Wednesday. Motorists are advised, however, to watch for crews finishing up road striping work through the end of the week.
