Water Main Break Closes Road, Restaurant In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — A water main break has closed a road and a restaurant in Wallingford on Thursday.

Wallingford police are urging all residents to avoid the area of Ward Street by Quinnipiac Street. Police said utility crews are actively working to repair an area of roadway in front of Sara J's restaurant at 7 Ward Street.

“There is a hard closure between Ward St. and its intersection with Quinnipiac Street,” police wrote in a post on Facebook. “There are currently no timelines as to when the roadway will reopen. Detour will be posted.”

Sara J’s wrote in a post on its Facebook page that a water main burst in front of the restaurant earlier on Thursday afternoon and they had to “quickly shut down.”

“Based off what a few town workers told us, we are hoping to be back up and running by tomorrow,” the post reads.
