Elgin Route 31 partially closes for main break

Route 31 was partially closed to southbound traffic because of a water main breakage, officials said Saturday.

A "road hazard" closed southbound Route 31 at Kimball Street and northbound at Highland Avenue, according to a post on the Elgin Police Department Facebook page Saturday.

Police were not immediately available to comment.

Elgin Fire Battalion Chief Tim Michaels said officials were handling a water main breakage that ruptured the concrete on Route 31.

Police asked drivers to find an alternate route.
