Water main break wreaks havoc on McKnight Road travelers
McKnight Road reopened early Monday morning after a large water main break, according to Tribune-Review news partner WPXI.
Crews are still working to repair the damage.
The water main break was reported just after 1:45 p.m. in the 8000 block of McKnight Road.
