It took more than twenty-four hours for the Environmental Protection Agency of New York City to fix this water main break between West 239th and West 238th Streets - as it was described by one worker. The photos below will explain further.

The water main work on Riverdale Avenue is finished, and this is how the street is repaired. By the way this street was fully milled and repaved in March of 2016, and is a protected street according to the DOT. The NYCEPA must not care about that by the condition thestreet has been left in.
