Water has been restored to the eastern section of Norwalk after a water main break delayed traffic on Interstate 95 South in Norwalk on Thursday night and affected water service.
The leak happened between exits 17 and 16 on the southbound side of the highway at the Strawberry Hill overpass, state police and Norwalk police confirmed. A "significant portion" of East Norwalk didn't have water Thursday night as a result, Norwalk Police Lt. Paul Resnick said.
A tractor-trailer struck the bridge and broke the water main, Norwallk police tweeted.
A viewer submitted a video of water flowing from an overpass onto the highway in that area. The water was no longer gushing by 9:32 p.m. and traffic got by in the evening in one lane. The highway has since reopened.
The First District Water Company in Norwalk responded to repair the break. It's unknown when water service will be prepared in the area.
No charges have been filed against the driver at this time.
The highway was closed shortly in that area, but traffic was able to get by in one lane later in the evening.
