WATCH: Major water line break beneath Fort Duquesne Bridge

PITTSBURGH — Water was seen shooting out under the Fort Duquesne Bridge.

A 30-inch water line broke, causing water to shoot out from under the bridge on the North Shore side, near the River Walk.

A Channel 11 crew at the scene could see tremendous amounts of water falling from the bridge.

Crews turned the water off by 2 a.m., Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority officials said. No one is without water and no traffic has been affected.

PWSA said repairs will be made on Friday. it’s unknown how long it will take.

We’re working to learn what caused the break.

PWSA isolated a leak on a 30-inch water main running underneath the Ft. Duquesne Bridge early this morning. There is no water service outage for customers and drivers can use the bridge as normal.

We will provide updates as we have a firm timeline for repairs.
