Workers cut away the guardrail on the Thruway so that stopped drivers can cross the median to the eastbound lane between exits 23 and 24 during a gas main break on Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2011, in Albany, NY. Airborne debris can be seen in the air from the break,  just beyond the bridge in the background, at left.  (Philip Kamrass / Times Union) Photo: Philip Kamrass / 00014197A
