QuoteDan Scanlan/The Times-Union-A 16 inch water main has burst somewhere under Gator Bowl Boulevard in between First Coast News and Lot J at EverBank Field, according to the JEA. Police have blocked off two lanes of Gator Bowl Boulevard in front of the retention pond next to lot J, as they seek the broken pipe. J'ai fischels say the original water main break earlier Friday morning did affect the stadium and area businesses, but water pressure is returning after it was bypassed and other water mains took over for this downtown area. The resulting water main break did gouge out a huge section of embankment in the pond. Crews are still looking four the actual break, then we'll dig into the street to replace it.
