Water main break near Times Square halts subway service, closes streets

A water main break in Times Square on Tuesday morning closed streets in Midtown and suspended subway service, officials said.

Service on line No. 1, 2 and 3 “will be severely disrupted in Manhattan for at least the morning rush hour,” the MTA said, adding that it was working to clear water from the affected tracks.

No service on route No. 1 between Chambers and 96th streets, officials said. Riders are advised to take trains A, B, C and D instead.

Train No. 2 is running on route 5 between Nevins Street and 149th Street-Grand Concourse. Between Brooklyn and Manhattan, riders should take the B, D, N, Q, R, 4 and 5 trains, the MTA said.

Between the Bronx and Manhattan, local buses can be used to get to the A, B, C and D trains, he added.

The break happened about 3 a.m. Tuesday on Seventh Avenue between 39th and 40th streets, WPIX reported, adding that officials said they won’t know the cause of the break until they dig.
