CLEVELAND, Ohio – Two lanes of the Shoreway on Cleveland’s West Side that were closed Tuesday due to a water main break, have reopened.

Cleveland police made the announcement in an email that went out at 8:13 p.m. Wednesday.

The break led to traffic backups, prompting the city to close the eastbound lanes from Lake Avenue to West 45th Street.

There had been concerns about the main since Thursday. Workers closed additional valves in the area to control the flow of water to the leak.

“This is a complex process due to the age of the main and the main’s proximity to our Garrett Morgan Treatment Plant, a water tower and various other water mains,” the city said in a statement on Tuesday.
