HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Crews are working to repair a major water main break that closed a stretch of a busy road in Henrico's West End on Sunday afternoon, according to police.
All southbound lanes of Gaskins Road, between Mayland Drive and West Broad Street, are closed after police said a water main break "compromised the roadway" just after noon. That is the stretch of Gaskins headed to the entrance ramps for Interstate 64.
Repairs are expected to be completed by late Sunday or early Monday, according to officials with Henrico's Department of Public Utilities.
Officials said that the break should not impact water service.
A detour has been set up around the work zone. Drivers exiting Interstate 64 can use Mayland and Pemberton to reach West Broad Street. The I-64 exits for Parham Road and Short Pump are additional options for drivers headed to that part of the West End.
