American Water crews have been working to shut down the main since about 7 a.m. Tuesday. They say that due to the complexity of this water main break, they'll be working overnight into Wednesday morning making repairs.
American Water also says Route 82 will remain closed in both directions until the completion of the repair, which is expected to happen Wednesday morning before rush hour.
