A water main break on Gaskins Road has flooded nearby business parking lots, disrupted water service for customers in the area, and forced the closure of southbound lanes that will remain shut until next week.

Crews with the Henrico Department of Public Utilities closed the intersection of Gaskins Road between Mayland and West Broad Street around noon Sunday after the water main break was discovered. DPU workers had to open up several nearby hydrants to relieve pressure and begin restoration efforts.

According to DPU, workers have placed a temporary repair on the water main break, which will temporarily restore water to impacted customers. Some may continue to experience low water pressure as permanent repairs are expected to begin Thursday with the delivery of needed materials.

All southbound lanes on Gaskins Road between West Broad Street and Mayland will continue to be closed until next week.
