RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — Russellville Mayor Fred Teague announced that westbound traffic on West Main Street is closed as crews work on repairing a water main that is broken below the surface.

The mayor said that until repairs are complete, traffic on West Main Street from Arkansas to Commerce will be closed.

"Due to the nature of the incident we do not have a timeline on the repair until the road can be excavated to assess the issue. Crews are onsite working as quickly as they can to repair and restore the traffic lanes," Mayor Teague said.

Russellville officials are asking people to avoid West Main in front of the Pope County Courthouse.

The mayor confirmed that crews are currently on site and working to resolve the issue.
