Broken Water Main Downtown (6th and Lamar)

Statesman just twittered that a two-foot-long water main has broken near 6th Street and Lamar (where Bookpeople, Whole Foods HQ, Waterloo Records are), "messing up traffic in the area. Avoid at all costs. Could be several hours until it's fixed." [Statesman Twitter]

That explains why traffic on 6th was backed up past Lavaca at lunchtime, then.
