A broken water main has been repaired that forced the closure of the eastbound lane of Brighton Road, just west of the High School entrance for much of the day Wednesday.
According to a Facebook post by the City, the repair was completed after 15 ½ hours of all three divisions of the City of Brighton’s Department of Public Services working together.
Brighton Road reopened to traffic by mid-afternoon. Meanwhile, the Streetscape Project officially started this week along Main Street, with the contractor removing decorative light poles and downtown electrical pedestals.
They have also started the removal of concrete sidewalk and brick pavers on the north side of Main Street at Hyne and will work their way east towards Grand River. As sidewalk is removed, gravel will be installed in its place to ensure access to the affected businesses.
City officials say once the new concrete is scheduled to be poured, they will let everyone know the details of what can be expected during that stage.
