Atchison highway stretch closed for water main repairs reopened Sunday

(KAIR)--A stretch of U.S. Highway 59, in Atchison, was closed from Saturday night through early Sunday afternoon due to a waterline break. 

Reported around 9:30 Saturday night, the City, in a social media release, called it "a large break in the middle of the highway traffic lanes," meaning the closure of the highway from 14th Street to the U.S. Highway 73 junction. 

Crews worked overnight Saturday into Sunday making the necessary repairs, with the City, late Sunday morning, reporting that the break had been fixed, with water restored to customers in the affected area.

By early Sunday afternoon, the highway had reopened.
