UPDATE (Sept. 19, 12:50 p.m.): The City of Meridian says that water main repair is taking longer than anticipated and is expected to impact traffic into Thursday evening.
Crews are still working on scene, with the Ada County Highway District also on scene to assist with the flow of traffic. The repair work is expected to impact the evening commute. Access to local residence and businesses will still be available.
A water main break in Meridian is impacting traffic on Ten Mile Road just north of Cherry Lane, with both northbound lanes on Ten Mile currently closed.
The center lane is being used for northbound traffic until repairs can be completed.
Crews are on the scene and will be working through the morning commute and into the afternoon. The affected water line has been shut off to help facilitate any needed repairs.
Once the water main is repaired, work will begin to repair the roadway which should be complete around noon.
"Thankfully our crews were able to locate the break quickly," Public Works Director Laurelei McVey said in a press release. "We extend our gratitude to commuters for their patience as we ensure this is managed... ."
Motorists are advised to use caution and allow extra time for their commute, using alternative routes and following traffic detours. Access to local residence and business will be maintained.
