Due to a trunk watermain break the southbound lanes of the Eddie Sargent Parkway will remain closed until necessary repairs are completed. The repairs are scheduled to conclude towards the end of next week.

A detour will remain in effect to re-route southbound traffic around the location to avoid possible damage during the repair process. The detour will divert southbound traffic on the Eddie Sargent Parkway at 23rd Street West to 4th Avenue West. Traffic will be directed to 19th Street West where they can return to the Parkway.

Northbound traffic will continue to be permitted but the road will be reduced to a single lane for the duration of the repair. The City apologizes for the inconvenience to the public.
