All lanes on Manufacturers Road between the U.S. Highway 27 overpass and the Highway 27 Southbound on/off ramps have been closed due to a water main break, according to a news release from the Chattanooga Department of Transportation.

Daphne Kirksey, a spokeswoman for Tennessee American Water, said in an emailed statement that a construction crew working for a separate company on a non-Tennessee American Water project accidentally hit a pipe on Manufacturers Road.

“Our crews are working safely and as quickly as possible to complete the repair,” Kirksey’s statement read.
