CORNWALL – Drivers are having to navigate around a section of Brookdale Avenue after a water main break Thursday morning.
It’s one of two breaks to happen on a bitterly cold morning in the city where the temperature has been around minus 20.
The southbound lanes of Brookdale Avenue are closed from Rosemount Avenue to Ninth Street.
