We've been getting a steady stream of emails from frustrated readers who arrived at their offices late this morning due to 16th Street NW being closed, at first below M Street, and now we're told as far north as up to R Street. The mess is due to a water main break at 16th and L Streets (part of L is also closed) that's also causing low water pressure for a couple of office buildings at the intersection. We'll update when we have more, but in the meantime, we're hearing it'd be best to avoid 16th, 17th and K and L Streets in the area.

ugh, i thought it was going to be something much more interesting. they shouldn't have used the "crime scene" tape!
Oh man! I take 16th St everyday to work in Silver Spring from Nationals ballpark area. This would have been horrible for me. I bypassed the Hay Adams closure by taking 18th because I happened to be leaving from Foggy Bottom this morning (normally I'll take 12th if I'm coming from the Waterfront) and hooked up with 16th St on P. This was around 8:35am.
Ever since Obama arrived, I've been avoiding 16th south of M like the plague.
