Crews make final repairs to a 20-inch water main break on Thursday, May 17, 2019. A stretch of Butler Street in Lawrenceville between 39th and 42d streets was shut down for several days.

A section of Butler Street in Lawrenceville will be closed until Saturday while crews can repave areas impacted by a water main break.

Work to fix the 20-inch main between 39th and 42nd streets began shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday, and water was shut off to homes and businesses along several surrounding streets.

Service was restored early Thursday morning but had to be shut off again at 11 p.m. along 42nd Street between Foster and Butler streets to complete the repairs.

The water was turned back on early Friday morning.

The break disrupted a number of businesses along the busy East End corridor.
