Emergency Water Main Repair Planned

Emergency water main repair work is scheduled to begin Wednesday at the intersection of Belt Line Road and Plano Road.

The repair is needed due to an isolated break in a water main located in the middle of the intersection. The original break occurred about two weeks ago, and the line was isolated and shut off. Since then, the City has been working to mobilize a contractor and prepare traffic management plans for the heavily traveled intersection.

Work is expected to continue through Saturday. The schedule is intended to reduce impacts to weekday traffic as much as possible.

No water service impacts are expected during the repair.

Drivers should expect delays while the work is underway, with the greatest impacts expected for westbound Belt Line Road and southbound Plano Road.

Traffic conditions during the repair are expected to include:

- Southbound Plano Road: no right-turn, with one through lane open.

- Northbound Plano Road: one left-turn lane open instead of two; no other impacts expected.

- Eastbound Belt Line Road: one left-turn lane open instead of two.

- Westbound Belt Line Road: one through lane and one right-turn lane open.

Drivers are encouraged to use caution, follow posted traffic-control signs, and consider alternate routes while work is underway.
