Omaha drivers are experiencing headaches in several areas, including the water main break at Center. OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT ) – On Monday afternoon, water gushed out of a ruptured water main between West Center and 105th Street. The road was closed in both directions for the entire Monday morning commute. Since then, the eastbound lane of the road has been reopened as workers continue to repair it. Omaha Public Works has announced that repairs will continue until further notice. After the closure, commuters had a list of roads that were either closed or had lane closures. This includes eastbound L, with one lane of travel between 108th and 102nd, and eastbound Dodge, with the left lane shut down between 76th to 72nd. This was evident during the Monday morning commute. Traffic on Interstate 680 was backed up as more traffic tried to use the eastbound Pacific. The crash on northbound I-680 caused bumper-to-bumper congestion all the way to eastbound I-80 at L. The traffic on the eastbound Center was reopened late in the morning of Tuesday. It is advisable to expect some delays due to the westbound traffic and ongoing construction. Plan to leave extra time and be extra patient until traffic in these areas returns to normal. Copyright 2023 Wowt. All rights reserved

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Monday afternoon water rushed out of a broken water main on West Center between 105th and 108th.

It was enough to close the road to traffic in both directions through the Monday morning commute. Since then, the road’s eastbound lane was reopened while workers continued repairs. Omaha Public Works says repairs will be in effect until further notice.

With the closure, commuters were left with a laundry list of roads dealing with either lane closures or complete closures.

This includes eastbound L with one lane travel from 108th to 102nd and eastbound Dodge with the left lane closed between 76th and 72nd.

The Monday morning commute saw this evolve into a domino effect of issues.

More traffic tried to use eastbound Pacific, leading to large delays and traffic backing up onto Interstate 680.

A subsequent crash on northbound 680 resulted in bumper-to-bumper traffic all the way onto eastbound I-80 near L.

Thankfully, there should be some improvement for upcoming commutes; traffic to eastbound Center reopened late Tuesday morning.

However, it may be a good idea to expect some delays there with westbound traffic and construction still occurring there.

Plan to leave a little extra time and have extra patience until more of these areas return to more normal traffic flow.
