CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Providence Road is back open after Charlotte Water crews closed one lane in each direction for an emergency water pipe repair Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Charlotte Water crews were initially called to the intersection of Providence Road and South Colonial Avenue, near Colonial Park, for water pipe repairs a little after 1 p.m. Tuesday. Officials initially expected water service to be disrupted for a couple of hours before announcing one outbound lane of Providence would be closed through the evening.
Charlotte Water closed two lanes of Providence (one in each direction) through 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Drivers used Queens Road and Randolph Road as alternate routes to avoid backups during the repairs.
