BANGOR -- A washout caused by a broken water main damaged the road on the corner of North French and Alden Street in Bangor this morning. The damage prompted officials to temporarily close down the Broadway side of Alden Street. Bangor Water District Construction Supervisor Vaughn Littlefield says the washout was the result of a twelve inch cast iron pipe installed in 1947 breaking. He says it's possible a shift in the ground surrounding the pipe caused the break. After the Bangor Water District found the break, they went to work replacing the water main and repaving the section of North French and Alden Street that was damaged the most.
