As of 5 a.m. this morning, Main St. S. from 10th Ave. S.E./S.W. to the frontage road approach sections is closed to traffic for water main work.
The City of Dauphin is advising residents to use alternate routes while that portion of the road is closed.
According to the City, the street should be open by early evening and open overnight with sections barricaded.
They say that people should drive with caution around barricaded sections and that the work will continue over the weekend through next Tuesday, August 23rd.
They also say that water in the area may be discoloured because of this work and that residents should avoid running water.
If residents notice that their water is brownish in colour, they should let it settle for a couple of hours before running cold to clear their lines.
