DOTD closes building; No water

(AP) — A broken fire hydrant has caused Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development’s headquarters building in Baton Rouge to be closed due to a lack of water service.

State officials said water to the building was shut off Monday morning after a vehicle struck a nearby fire hydrant. Without water service, DOTD’s headquarters building has no air conditioning, fire protection or restroom capabilities.

Officials said the building will reopen on Tuesday.
