A massive water-main break at Lawrence and Willoughby Streets in the early morning hours inundates the Dekalb Avenue station causing the suspension of all service between
Brooklyn and Manhattan via either the Manhattan Bridge or the Montague Street Tunnel.
Service over the bridge was restored in time for the PM rush the next day. Service through the tunnel was restored in the early morning hours of Wednesday, August 25.

R-32’s 3672-73, 3734-35, R-27 8224-25 and R-30 8300-01 were damaged in the flood.
