MONROE, N.C. — The two lanes on the westbound side of Highway 74 in Monroe that closed due to a water main break have since reopened.
The lane closures spanned from Campus Park Drive to South Sutherland Avenue.
A contractor damaged the 1-foot-wide water main at 791 E. Roosevelt Blvd., near the Truist Bank and Food Lion right across from Atrium Health Union, officials said.
North Carolina Department of Transportation requested the two lanes stay closed until Thursday so the road could be repaired after the water main is fixed. Friday afternoon, officials confirmed the road had reopened.
The break happened Wednesday morning. Later that night, Monroe officials reported that repairs to the water main were completed and water service was being restored.
Any residents who experience water issues or have further questions about the repair should call the city's water resources department at 704-282-4601.
