The break occurred Dec. 1 just north of the bus stop at north City Market. Traffic was reduced to one lane.

City crews had to cap the leak and then replace two 12-foot by 17-foot sections of pavement. The replacement slabs had to meet Colorado Department of Transportation concrete pressure standards of 3,000 pounds per square inch.

The slabs passed muster at 3,200 psi.
