WSSC planned to have the road open by early Tuesday morning.
A water main break in the 8900 block of Jones Mill Road, Chevy Chase, kept both directions of the road closed for most of Monday, July 8, according to Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission spokesperson Kira Calm Lewis.
The break occurred sometime before 9 a.m., and WSSC crews were on-site by 9:20 a.m., Lewis said.
Water was expected to be restored by around 5 p.m., but Lewis said the road would be closed for repairs through the Monday evening rush hours. The road was expected to be open again by early Tuesday morning, she added.
