A broken sewer line has forced the closure of a West Columbia street. The S.C. Department of Transportation announced late Tuesday that a portion of Williams Street near Airport Boulevard was being closed due to damage to a sewer line in the area caused by a contractor. The contractor struck a sewer line while installing a signal pole, DOT said in a news release, causing an “emergency closure” on the eastbound lanes of Williams Street.

It’s near where Airport Boulevard and Charleston Highway split, across from a Maurice’s Piggy Park.
