After a [fallen tree caused major delays](/downed-tree-ensnares-b-train-causing-massive-delays-cortelyou-road/) on the B and Q lines this morning, it’s now being reported that a broken water main at Montague and Court Streets in Brooklyn Heights is wreaking havoc on Q and R service.

A break at 156 Montague Street was reported to the FDNY at approximately 3:15pm today, according to [DNA Info](https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20170302/brooklyn-heights/water-main-break-montague-street-court-station-q-r-train-delayed?utm%5Fsource=Fort+Greene%2C+Downtown+%26+Brooklyn+Heights+Breaking+News&utm%5Fcampaign=6648a3c22c-EMAIL%5FCAMPAIGN%5F2017%5F03%5F02&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fterm=0%5F69d200d896-6648a3c22c-136793097). Crews went in to make repairs to a 12-inch pipe and are currently still on the scene working.

Court Street station was flooded ankle-deep and brown water is streaming down Montague Street.

According to the [MTA website](http://alert.mta.info/status/subway/NQR/24808228?ref=bklyner.com), R trains are running on the Q line from Canal Street to DeKalb Avenue in both directions. Commuters are told to expect delays on Q train service.
