McBride’s traffic restrictions will be in place for the next four to six weeks, starting Monday, June 11.

City construction crews are working to replace the water main and then repave the road between Sixth Avenue and Eighth Avenue along McBride Street.

Work first began when a water main break was discovered on May 29. Initially, the repair was only expected to take the weekend, but that deadline has been extended.
