MONTEBELLO >> A leaking water main prompted officials to shut down a section of Lincoln Avenue in Montebello Sunday.
The water leak did not damage the roadway, however authorities determined it was necessary to shut down both directions of Lincoln Avenue to allow work crews room to make repairs, Montebello police Lt. Stan Flores said.
Crews shut down Lincoln Avenue between San Gabriel Boulevard and La Merced Avenue at 2 p.m., police said. The road was expected to remain closed through at least 10 p.m.
Police suggested motorists take Montebello Boulevard as an alternate route.
