All Main Roads to Ruston Closed

UPDATE @ 2 pm: Chief Kunkel reports that the northbound lane of Pearl Street is open as of about 11 am, the southbound lane is still closed from 49th to 51st.
_____________________________________________________

Pearl Street is completely closed down for at least a couple more hours according to Ruston Police Chief Jeremy Kunkel. The water main beneath the street has broken and is undergoing repairs. No reports of the residential water supply being impacted yet.

In addition, the sewer replacement project has 51st Street closed intermittently for excavation at the alley (one lane open at times). The tunnel remains closed for construction as well. For the time being, the only way to get in or out of town is using side streets or coming in from Baltimore to 49th. Good luck out there!

What tunnel is closed "for construction as well"?

I was refering to the tunnel that used to lead to Ruston Way. It would have been better to say Ruston Way/Gallagher Way connection is closed since the tunnel will never re-open. Thanks for the correction!

Down there on Tuesday entrance to Ruston on 51st street (above Antique Sandwich) was also closed due to a very large downed tree.
