hollowed out and a sickk hole could form. the water main break put the water on the street but the problem is the water that may be under the street. the city will likely need an engineer out here to see if vehicles are safe to pass over. no word on what caused the roads to break. so fourth street is shut down between folsom and mission. if you are going through this area, find an alternative way of getting around. the early estimate is that it could open at noon but if the area has a voit that is washed away by the water and the

intersection is not safe, they are going to want to get out and repair it. we will try to get you an ak ralt time -- accurate time line on when they will be opening it. this is going to be a big traffic problem, if you are going down to the freeway, or if you are going shopping in that area or going to the center, it's at fourth and howard. if you want to get to the freeway, i recommend using 10th street. you can avoid fourth street and that will get you to the highway. this will have a chain reaction on the whole area. even on third, there is likely to be a traffic jam in the
