After repairs are completed by City utility maintenance crews, contractors will replace the concrete in the affected road area which will result in traffic restrictions extending through next week.

The area where repairs were made to the water line last month is the same one that was being worked on. Officials have stated that the water main in this area is old and in poor condition, so repairs will continue until the service line can be replaced.
