A water main break and “dangerous ice conditions” on Woodward has prompted the QLine streetcars to halt service until late Sunday.
Streetcar service stopped at 8 p.m. Saturday after an underground pipe broke, sending water gushing onto Woodward. The single-digit temperatures caused ice to accumulate on the road.
Emergency utility crews were dispatched to the scene.
“We will provide updates as they come in,” the QLine tweeted.
