CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — A water main break caused a road closure at Bainbridge Blvd. and McCloud Rd. in Chesapeake Friday afternoon.
According to employees at Sunbelt Rentals, a delivery driver hit a fire hydrant which caused the break. Sunbelt Rental employee Jay Busch told 10 On Your Side that he sprang into action alongside coworkers to provide assistance.
“We were just sitting in the office and all of a sudden just heard a loud boom and seen a delivery driver hit a fire hydrant,” said Busch. “So, we came out proactive with the fire department. We started directing traffic and stuff until E.M.S. and the police showed up to shut the road down.”
Bainbridge Blvd. will remain closed at S Military Hwy while crews continue emergency repairs. Officials ask drivers to follow marked detours. There is currently no estimate as to when the road will reopen.
