BALTIMORE, MD (November 12, 2012) - Shortly after 8:00 a.m. this morning a break occurred on a 30 inch water main near the intersection of Madison St and Guilford Ave. Madison is closed between Fallsway to Calvert St. Guilford is closed from Monument St to Madison St. The Guilford off-ramp from the JFX is closed. Please avoid the immediate area. 

DPW crews and other emergency personnel are on the scene working to shut down the main. Low water pressure is being experienced in the vicinity.
