CONCORD, N.C. — A major intersection in Concord is back open after a broken water main flooded the road Wednesday afternoon.
The Concord Police Department tweeted that crews responded to the intersection of Concord Parkway (U.S. 29) and Pitts School Road for flooding a little before 2 p.m. Police said the culprit was a broken water main.
The intersection, which is just north of Charlotte Motor Speedway, was closed until around 4 p.m., when crews were able to isolate the water main break and stop the flooding. The westbound lanes of Pitts School Road will remain closed until further notice. All lanes of Concord Parkway are back open.
Charlotte Water also reported a broken water main in Pineville Wednesday. It happened after a contractor damaged a pipe under Carolina Logistics Drive, which affected service to the McCullough neighborhood. Crews were able to isolate the water outage to just Carolina Logistics Drive. It's unclear when service will be restored.
