Water main leak creates west-bound Jefferson Boulevard lane restriction
A Fort Wayne City Utilities water main repair on West Jefferson Boulevard has created a lane restriction for westbound traffic between the traffic signal at Jefferson and Illinois Road and the signal at the entrance to Jefferson Pointe.
Crews are repairing the leak that has interrupted service in the 3800 to 4700 blocks of West Jefferson. Because of the depth of the main, it is unknown at this time how serious the leak is and how much time may be needed to make a repair.
Drivers who use West Jefferson may want to find an alternate route this afternoon and this evening.
The Parkwest complex and several other businesses and medical offices in the area are without water. Jefferson Pointe shopping center is not affected.
