While we were resting our hangovers yesterday, we missed word via the Examiner that River Road was at last reopened, a full eight days after a massive water main break caused flooding, substantial damage and led to the rescue of 15 people by boat and helicopter. The delay in reopening the road occurred after engineers discovered three cracked pipes that needed to be replaced in addition to the one that caused the flooding. The road is now open to vehicles, but crews are still working in the area and traffic will continue to be delayed for some time while final repairs are made.
