UPDATE | Long Beach beaches remain closed today following a sewage spill on Monday that has now released about 2.4 million gallons of sewage into the Los Angeles River due to a broken pipe in Los Angeles, authorities said.

According to the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, 2.4 million gallons spilled from the pipe as of late this morning. Crews were still working to contain the spill.

The ruptured pipe near downtown Los Angeles was reported Monday and prompted Long Beach health officials to close all coastal beaches. A portion of Seal Beach also remains off limits to surfers and swimmers. According to the county Health Care Agency, beaches in Seal Beach were closed from San Gabriel River Mouth to Anaheim Bay.

The incident happened Monday at about 2:00PM at 6th Street and Mission Road, when the top of a sewer pipe collapsed. Debris from the collapse fell into the pipe, causing the overflow, according to public works officials.
