Peoria, Ill (WMBD) — Water main repairs will frustrate drivers along West Martin Luther King Junior Drive in Peoria and it’s not known how long the work will take.
On Friday, Illinois American Water announced lanes of the main roadway will be shut down completely between S Ligonier St and S Sterling Ave.
We understand a water customer actually reported the problem.
A crew came out to the area — investigated — and discovered a water main leak.
We’re told the entire roadway is being closed in order to ensure safety for both the work crew and drivers.
The release says the road will be re-opened, “as soon as possible”.
