Public Works crews on Friday afternoon reopened North Main Street in the area of Fagan Street, but travel is restricted to one lane in both directions. Motorists are asked to slow down and be alert to the change in the traffic pattern.
Next week, a contract crew will repair and repave the section of the street damaged by a water main break. The lane restrictions likely will remain in place until the end of next week.
North Main Street was closed in both directions at Fagan Street late Thursday afternoon due to a water main break on the southbound side. The break sent water and mud gushing across all four lanes, buckling the pavement and shutting down water service to several customers in the area. Detours were put in place as utility crews worked to shut down the leak and begin repairs. The detours remained in place through the night and continued on Friday as utility crews completed repairs.
