Main Street in Carpentersville closed due to 'severe' water main break

A severe water main break Tuesday night in Carpentersville has caused a section of Main Street to be closed, officials said.

Main Street at Route 31 to Washington Street was closed after the water main broke, according to a Carpentersville public safety Facebook post shortly after 8 p.m. Eastbound and westbound lanes of traffic were blocked, officials said.

The village said drivers should use Route 62 or Route 72 as an alternate route.
