A water main break flooded Upper West Side streets near Lincoln Center Monday morning, disrupting morning commute for residents.
Crews were on the scene on Broadway between 66th and 64th Street after the call came in just before 5 a.m. Aerial images from Chopper 4 shows extensive flooding on the streets with a shallow body of moving water around parked cars.
Due to a water condition, 1, 2 & 3 train service is suspended in Manhattan between 42nd Street and 96th Street in both directions, the MTA said. Extensive delays on the lines are expected.
Broadway from 61st to 65th streets is also closed due to the water main break.
Some water could be seen on the 1 train track at 66th Street just before the transit agency announced service suspension.
The gushing water appeared to be several inches high in some spots. One Twitter user said he had just got to work at the Starbucks on 63rd and Broadway and had to wade through the grimy pond.
At 64th Street and Ninth Avenue, the water was above workers' knees at one point.
Some buildings on the affected streets appeared to have experienced minor flooding. A number of stores also experienced flooded due to the water main break.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the water main break or how long it will be before the issue is resolved.
However, residents of a nearby building were told by building management they may need to wear boots when they walked out the front door.
They were also told not to go to the basement under any circumstance because of an electrocution risk from the flooding.
Images obtained by News 4 show murky water in what appears to be the stairwell of a building impacted by the water main break and subsequent flooding.
