Officials said the inner two eastbound lanes of Northwest 186th Street will be closed to accommodate the repair due to the pipe break. One eastbound lane was expected to remain open to accommodate traffic.

Repairs were expected to be completed within the next eight hours, at which time the lanes will be reopened, officials said.
