A water main break in Bettendorf has shut down the two northbound lanes of Kimberly Road in the city, according to Lisa Reisen, from Iowa American Water.

The break happened before 1 a.m. Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at the intersection of Kimberly Road and Middle, in Bettendorf. The break has caused water to flow into parking lots near the Bruegger's bagel and Dunn Bros Coffee restaurants. Crews from Iowa American Water were making repairs to the street shortly after the break.

Reisen said around 4:15 p.m. that the repairs were complete and the barricades were set to be removed. The northbound turn lane at Kimberly and Middle Road/Locust Street remained closed because that part of the street was excavated in the repairs.

Crews planned to restore the paving on that part of the street on Thursday, December 4. The turn lane was set to reopen Friday.

Northbound traffic on Kimberly is being detoured onto Lincoln Road for the time being. Reisen says that one lane of Kimberly Road should open around noon again Wednesday. Crews will keep the other lane blocked off to continue working on the street.

Reisen says that no customers have been affected by the break.
