A water-main break that occurred on New Year’s Day has resulted in the closure of a key access road from the freeway for most of the month.
The main break caused damage to the intersection of Lincoln Boulevard and Colorado Avenue and resulted in the temporary closure of Lincoln from Broadway to the freeway. Although Lincoln Boulevard was partially opened to vehicles on Friday, Colorado Avenue was closed from Seventh Street to Lincoln Boulevard Lincoln Boulevard will be restricted to one lane in each direction between Broadway and Interstate 10 for at least a week while crews do repair work. Due to water-main replacement and street repaving, Colorado will remain closed between Lincoln Boulevard and Seventh Street for up to three weeks. Motorists are advised to use the Fourth/Fifth Street exit from westbound I-10 to reach downtown Santa Monica.
