(WHDH) — Two water main breaks Tuesday morning have the potential to snarl the morning commute for drivers.
In Charlestown, a water main break in the area of 500 Rutherford Ave closed the road just south of the traffic circle at the Sullivan Square Orange Line station.
A Boston school bus lot has been affected by the road closures due to water main break. Police are helping buses get out.
For those looking to avoid the area, a suggested alternative route is to stay on Interstate 93 to Government Center exit and take Washington Street back into Charlestown. Taking the T could also help you avoid any traffic.

In Wellesley, a water main break on Route 9 eastbound could have a significant impact on roads in the area. The incident happened just before Route 95/128.
According to Wellesley Police, the right lane closed through portions of the morning commute, but residual delays remain.
The water main break originally closed the ramp from 9 eastbound to 128 southbound, but this has since been reopened.
#WPD Rt. 9 east update: Road is now fully opened to 2 lanes and ramp to Rt 95 south is open. Major delays Rt 9 eastbound (back to Rt 16)
