Water Main Break In Andover Expected To Slow Afternoon Commute

ANDOVER, MA — A water main break in Andover could create a headache for drivers heading north of Boston on their afternoon commute.

The Department of Public Works is currently responding to a large-scale water main break on Dascomb Road by the Route 93 overpass.

Andover police say Dascomb Road has closed in both directions as crews work in the area and MassDOT officials check the safety of the bridges.

Drivers on Route 93 looking to get onto Dascomb Road to head toward Tewksbury cannot do so at this time and should seek alternate routes, Massachusetts State Police said.

Route 93 to Dascomb toward Andover is open, but drivers are being asked to avoid the area, and traffic will be heavy.

No additional information was immediately available.
