UPDATE AT 1 P.M. – South Simon Street between North Park and South Park Avenues is now open for through traffic. Please continue to proceed with caution, as the temporary road repair from the water main break on 6/22/2020 remains uneven.
A water main break occurring on Monday evening has temporarily closed South Simon Street north of North Park Drive to South Park Drive, according to the village of Ada.
The village asks residents to not attempt to drive through the work zone, as the ground may still be unstable until crews can get the trench backfilled and stabilized.
