SAN DIEGO—A stretch of Interstate 5 (I-5) and several freeway connector ramps in the bustling downtown area were closed to through traffic on Nov. 22, as a result of water-main breaks in the East Village and the south end of Balboa Park over the weekend.
The first of the two pipeline failures began flooding traffic lanes at A Street and Eleventh Avenue about 3:30 p.m. Sunday, city officials reported.
