Water main break on Circle Drive at 33rd Street causing lower water pressure and traffic detours – please avoid the area
A watermain break caused a substantial washout in the road on Circle Drive northbound/eastbound late this afternoon. All northbound/eastbound lanes are closed and traffic is being detoured to the 33rd Street off ramp.
All southbound lanes on Circle Drive are also being re-routed over the 33rd Street overpass and back onto Circle Drive while City crews wash the infrastructure tonight only. This work will be completed by 7 a.m. Tuesday and all southbound lanes will reopen.
City crews are completing the emergency utility locates and will return Tuesday morning to repair the water main. Homes and businesses west of Circle Drive and south of Airport Drive may notice lower than normal water pressure. Airport Industrial and Montgomery Place will not be affected.
The full detour on Circle Drive northbound will remain in place into Tuesday and morning commuters are encouraged to take a different route. We will share more information about the road re-opening once the repair is underway.
Please obey all traffic signs and pay close attention when passing staff for everyone’s safety. Thank you for your patience.
