Road is blocked off between Cates and Sullivan drive. So take a detour if you're heading that way.

"NCSU Transportation closed a section of Dan Allen Drive Monday, from Western Boulevard to the Cates Avenue intersection, while facilities crews worked to repair a ruptured water main, according to Alan Daeke, assistant director of Utilities Services. The leak was reported around 3:30 p.m., Daeke said, and they did not know how long it would take to find it. "We don't know where [the rupture] is," he said. Cecil Pipkin, a University machinist, welder and plumber, was also unsure of a time frame. "It could be two hours," Pipkin said. "It could be eight hours." According to Daeke, they will try to find the rupture, then shut down water to up to 10 surrounding buildings when it is found. These include Student Health and the steam plant, he said. It could be an "all night thing," he said. Until the water main is repaired and the road is back to its normal condition, Transportation will block the area and reroute traffic. "We hope [to have the rupture repaired] by 5 a.m., just in time to come into work," Daeke said. Deputy News Editor Megan Peters contributed to this report."

They were making the buses take detours earlier but apparently they're letting them through now.

Apparently it's still going to be screwed up for a while.

"Avoid Dan Allen Drive if possible - use Pullen Road or Gorman Street. Emergency water main repair: Some pretty substantial excavation and road work is going to be required to repair the broken water main impacting Dan Allen Drive (between Sullivan Drive and the entrance to the Student Health Services Lot - "C" zone). The time frame to complete the repairs has not been determined as yet. No through traffic on southbound Dan Allen Drive. Currently, the portion of Dan Allen Drive between Cates Avenue and Sullivan Drive is restricted to northbound only. Southbound Dan Allen Drive traffic is being rerouted via Cates Avenue. There is no southbound access to Student Health Services Lot - access this lot from Western Boulevard to Dan Allen Drive traveling NORTH. Repairs are expected to begin Wednesday and take about five days, Klein said. It was unclear if the repair work would continue through the weekend, she said. Drivers are urged to avoid Dan Allen Drive between Western Boulevard and Hillsborough Street. They can use Gorman Street and Pullen Drive as alternate routes to get through campus, she said."
